The primary role of the reticular activating system is to control the wake-sleep cycle. In other words, it controls when we wake up and the transition between sleeping and waking.

The reticular activating system has a network of neurotrasmitters between the brainstem, medulla oblongata and the cerebral cortex that can transfer messages and signals to and fro.
