Sleepiness in humans is governed by the two-process model, which integrates homeostatic sleep pressure (Process S) and circadian rhythms (Process C).

The analysis

The claim is a well-established scientific principle known as the two-process model of sleep regulation. Multiple papers (e.g., Papers 5, 7, and 8) explicitly support the role of both homeostatic sleep pressure and circadian rhythms in driving sleepiness and sleep timing. No retrieved papers refute this consensus.
