Notes on Regulation of Consciousness

Top-down modulation of waking consciousness is a function of aminergic modulation in the forebrain, but total homeostatic regulation of brain states is generally considered to be a function of the hypothalamus. From WikiPedia: "The hypothalamus co-ordinates many hormonal and behavioural circadian rhythms, complex patterns of neuroendocrine outputs, complex homeostatic mechanisms, and many important behaviours."
