SLEEP YOUR BRAIN CLEAN

Did you know it is whilst you are sleeping that your brain gets a good clean?

Like all the organs in the body, the brain needs fuel to function (minerals, glucose, oxygen) which generates waste as a result.To flush this out it has it's own waste management system called the 'glymphatic system' which bathes the brain in cleansing fluid transporting all the toxins away. All this happens at night during the deepest stages of sleep

Another reason why it is so important to get some proper shut-eye as it is suggested under-functioning of this clean up system can lead to neurodegeneration and brain disorders including Alzheimer's disease
