Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adenosine is a neuromodulator that accumulates in the brain over time and is thought to play a key role in promoting sleep. As adenosine levels increase throughout the day, it gradually promotes sleepiness and lowers arousal. Adenosine levels decrease during sleep but increase again over the course of the next day to promote renewed sleepiness.
