Did you know your brain has its own detox system?
It’s called the glymphatic system – no joke – kind of a lymphatic system for the brain.
This system is thought to play a primary role in clearing toxins and byproducts that build up in our brain during the day.
And guess when this system is most active?
During sleep – especially deep sleep while lying down.
That’s when the flow of fluid across and around our brain shifts and provides a wonderful clearing and renewal process.
Isn’t that cool?
We get a new brain while we sleep!
Next time you’re tempted to skimp on sleep – remember this brain detoxing and renewal process – and give yourself the gift of sleep.
