The areas of your brain are involved in generating and maintaining sleep are Hypothalamus, brain stem, thalamus, pineal gland, basal forebrain, and amygdala.
Groups of nerve cells in the hypothalamus, a peanut-sized region deep inside the brain, serve as regulatory centres for sleep and arousal. The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a group of hundreds of cells in the hypothalamus, regulates your behavioural rhythm by receiving information about light exposure directly from your eyes.
Because they are unable to sync their circadian rhythms with the light-dark cycle, some persons with SCN impairment sleep irregularly throughout the day. The majority of blind persons are still able to perceive some light and can alter their sleep/wake cycle.
While a portion of the midbrain serves as an arousal mechanism, the basal forebrain, located close to the front and bottom of the brain, even encourages sleep and wakefulness.
Your desire to sleep is supported by the release of adenosine, a chemical byproduct of cellular energy expenditure, from cells in the basal forebrain and possibly other locations.
