There are times when a person can hardly sleep at all and if they do, then the sleep provides a substandard quality of recuperation. On the other hand, there are also times – in particularly between two and six in the morning – in which the urge to sleep is especially strong. And the restorative effects are also much better if one sleeps during this period. This time period at night is referred to as the Window of Circadian Low (WOCL).
