Scientists have discovered a sleeping habit that helps clean your brain at night, possibly lowering the risk of neuron motor diseases.
If you’ve ever spent much time on social media, you’ve probably heard the term “brain bleach” in some for more or another. Usually, this has to do with watching cute animal videos or looking at funny memes after seeing something terrible or horrifying. This helps clean your brain of those horrifying thoughts.
These unneeded chains are called “misfolded proteins”, as I mentioned above. And they’re made as part of your body’s ongoing creation of long chains of proteins. Your body creates misfolded proteins when things don’t work out correctly. And they can then build up in your brain. However, when you sleep at night, your brain works to take out the garbage using your glymphatic system. These glymphatic functions effectively clean your brain of the misfolded proteins, allowing it to function normally.The X-ray of the human brain closeup image Image source: merydolla / Adobe.
