Extensive scientific literature confirms that sleep and wakefulness are regulated by specific neurochemical systems, physiological circuits, and neurotransmitter pathways.
Paper [0] utilizes a network model to demonstrate how specific synaptic pathways and neural populations regulate sleep dynamics.

The analysis
The retrieved papers consistently demonstrate that sleep and wakefulness are governed by well-defined neurochemical (e.g., GABA, serotonin, acetylcholine, orexin) and physiological processes involving distributed brain networks.
Paper [9] outlines the neuroanatomical and neurochemical systems, such as acetylcholine, dopamine, and GABA, that maintain wakefulness and sleep states.
