There are two kinds of neurons involved in the transmission of any signal through the sympathetic system: pre-ganglionic and post-ganglionic. The shorter preganglionic neurons originate in the thoracolumbar division of the spinal cord specifically at T1 to L2~L3, and travel to a ganglion, often one of the paravertebral ganglia, where they synapse with a postganglionic neuron.
Some of the other observations about sleep included decrease of sympathetic activity and increase of parasympathetic activity in non-REM sleep, and increase of heart rate and blood pressure accompanied by decrease in homeostatic response and muscle tone during REM sleep.
Long-term chronic exposure to insufficient sleep is associated with a decline in optimism and sociability, and an increase in subjective experiences of sleepiness and fatigue. [16] Furthermore, sleep restricted to five hours a night over the course of a week causes significant increases in self-reports of subjective mood disturbance and sleepiness.

People with a stronger genetic predisposition to short sleep were more likely to develop depressive symptoms. Consistent lack of sleep may increase risk of future depressive symptoms – study ...
Music can reduce sympathetic nervous system activity, decreasing blood pressure and heart rate. [17] The decrease in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate signal a state of calmness, which is essential for having a good night sleep.
