During sleep, brain cleansing mechanisms are triggered.

When a person wakes up, the main governing body is not able to perform rehabilitation actions.

What happens to the brain during sleep?

What does this mean for us?

" Sleep is still an inexplicable phenomenon. It is currently believed to be essential for learning and memorization..

The main function of sleep: clearing the brain.

A group of specialists from the University of Rochester Medical Center believe that one of the main reasons we need sleep is to clear the brain.. Scientists have proven that during sleep, brain cells shrink, opening hatches between brain neurons, which allows toxins to be flushed out through the liquid.. If the process of cleaning the brain is unstable, there may be disturbances in its work, as in Alzheimer's disease (during which pathological proteins are collected in the brain).

The lymphatic system is cleansed and nourished during sleep 10 times more.

The University of Rochester scientists' theory builds on their discovery last year related to glial cells in the lymphatic system, where cerebrospinal fluid passes to cleanse brain tissue and transport nutrients..

Studies of the mouse brain have shown that the lymphatic system during rest is 10 times more active, and, at the same time, the volume of cells (probably glial cells) drops to 60 percent.

Two modes: standby or sleep mode.

The brain has only a limited supply of energy and must therefore choose between two functional states - standby and sleep, during which it clears. " Probably information processing cannot be brainwashed.

Human studies are planned to explain how correct the theory of clearing the brain during sleep is..
