You don't have to be a professor to understand how important good sleep is.. In the end, any person who, for some reason, did not sleep for just one night, and then had to last all day, will tell about it.!

However, scientists continue to study sleep and discover more and more new additions to the long list of reasons why it is important to sleep well.. There are more and more of them: from consolidating new knowledge to getting rid of painful memories and preventing conflicts with a partner (imagine, this is already a proven scientific fact).

And just recently, a group of researchers from Boston University reported another reason why sleep is simply vital.. Sleep literally flushes out toxins, including those that can lead to Alzheimer's, from your body..

"

The scientific paper on this topic, published in the journal Science, is based on earlier studies that were carried out on mice.. Then there was an assumption that sleep physically removes toxins that accumulate in the brain as a result of its functioning.. Scientists wondered if something similar happens to people? Bioengineer Laura Lewis invited a group of volunteers to take part in an experiment during which they had to sleep "

The results of the study were literally amazing.!

Laura Lewis discovered that during " And the electroencephalogram readings helped to understand why this is happening.. The fact is that during such a dream, neurons begin to turn on and off synchronously.. And since all the neurons stop their work for a while, they no longer need a lot of oxygen.. This means less blood will flow to the brain.. At the same time, a group of scientists recorded that during the “rest” of neutrons, cerebrospinal fluid penetrates the brain, filling the remaining space.

In a word, if we discard complex scientific terms: sleep allows your brain to " Thus, all the toxins that accumulate there during the day are washed out..

Good news for people with Alzheimer's, bad news for sleep deprivation.

The scientists' discovery is great news for Alzheimer's patients, as it could pave the way for new treatments aimed at " It is possible that if we find a way to get rid of all the "

The data from this study is very valuable, not only in the treatment of people with Alzheimer's disease and other mental disorders that can be caused by the accumulation of toxins in the brain.. They are very important for absolutely all people who... sleep. That is, for each of us.



People simply need to get enough sleep to keep their brain healthy.. There is simply no other way out. That's the way he's made.

So the next time you decide to watch another episode of your favorite show at 1am or spend half the night working, remember this study.. Imagine visually how much " Do you really want him to stay there?

Work and series will not run away. You can do whatever you want the next day. And you only have one brain. So turn off the lights and sleep!
