Neuro-kanibalizmas vien nuo gilaus miego trūkumo, kuris veda į prastesnę savijautą, mažesnį produktyvumą ir net Alzhaimer'io neurologinius sutrikimus.
O rytas, kur kas, džiugesnis fantastiškai išsimiegojus, pabudus laiku be žadintuvo ant personalizuoto čiužinio ir asmeniškai pritaikytos pagalvės ir žinoma kitais miegui svarbiais atributais: antklodės, patalynės, pagalvėles tarp kelių-šlaunų, miego kaukės, ausų kamštukų (ypač aplinkoje yra knarkimas ar kiti triukšmai).
Mielai padėsiu išsigryninti, kas tinka.

Linkiu klestėti fantastiškai išsimiegojus ir pabusti pačiu laiku. 🌼😴 🛏️ 💤
Your brain is not just tired when you miss sleep, it may actually start eating itself. Science shows that chronic sleep loss can trigger a self-destructive process where brain cells consume parts of their own connections, a phenomenon sometimes described as neural cannibalism. While it sounds like something out of science fiction, it is a stark reality of what happens when we deny the brain its most essential form of rest.
Our brains rely on two key types of glial cells to keep things clean and functional. Microglia act like tiny scavengers, clearing away damaged or toxic debris, while astrocytes prune unused connections between neurons to keep signaling sharp. Normally, this process is healthy and vital for maintaining a strong and efficient brain. But studies show that when sleep is chronically deprived, astrocytes become hyperactive. Instead of simply trimming weak connections, they begin breaking down healthy ones too, essentially over-cleaning to the point of damage.
At the same time, microglia also become more aggressive. While their activity is important for fighting infection and maintaining order, long-term activation is linked to neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. In other words, missing too much sleep not only leaves you groggy but may slowly erode the very architecture of your brain.
This research explains why sleep is not a luxury but a necessity. It is during deep sleep that the brain performs critical repair, consolidates memory, and flushes out waste products. Without it, the system goes into overdrive, mistaking healthy connections for trash. The long-term effects can ripple into mood disorders, cognitive decline, and an increased risk of neurological disease.
So the next time you are tempted to push through another sleepless night, remember: your brain depends on sleep not just to function but to survive. Protecting your rest means protecting the very circuits that make you who you are.
