No, the brain is not actively "awake" in the same way when we are asleep. However, the brain is still processing information and carrying out essential functions during sleep, such as consolidating memories and regulating bodily functions.
The part of the brain that is primarily involved in sleep is the hypothalamus. Within the hypothalamus, there are specific regions that regulate sleep-wake cycles, such as the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO). These regions interact with other brain areas to control the timing and duration of sleep.

Sleep is important for cognitive restoration and learning. Your brain never stops working.
During sleep, the brain consolidates memories, removes waste products, and repairs cells damaged by stress or pollution. It also helps regulate important hormones and neurotransmitters that are essential for healthy brain function. Getting enough sleep is crucial for maintaining cognitive function, mood stability, and overall brain health.
When a person dies, their ability to sleep ceases completely as the brain and body functions come to a permanent stop.

If this happens then the brain will slowly stop being able to do things that used to seem easy. Teens need at least 9 hours of sleep. As long as they receive anywhere from 8-10 hours of rest per night their brain should function properly and grow as it should.
The part of the brain responsible for regulating sleep is the hypothalamus.
