π§ π΄ Researchers discover that lack of sleep βdevoursβ the brain
Sleep isnβt just restβ¦ itβs a vital necessity!
New studies reveal that when we donβt sleep enough, the brain begins to βself-cleanβ excessively, removing connections and cells we actually need.
π¬ What does this mean?
The brain activates cells called microglia and astrocytes, responsible for cleaning waste. But with sleep deprivation, these cells become overactive and start βeatingβ healthy parts of the brain, which may increase the risk of:
* Memory problems
* Difficulty concentrating
* Accelerated brain aging
π‘ Sleeping well is not a luxuryβ¦ itβs cognitive and mental health.
Prioritize your restβyour brain will thank you.
