“The link between lack of #Sleep and cancer is now so strong that the World Health Organization has classified any form of nighttime shift work as a probable carcinogen."

I worked nights for 9 years.  That probably will shorten my lifespan by about 3 years?

The Future of Sleep with Dr. Matt Walker

our brains are highly active during #Sleep , performing crucial functions like processing information and emotions. A significant discovery is the glymphatic system, which helps clear metabolic waste from the brain including protein fragments that contribute to neurodegenerative diseases.

Rhythmic brain waves, generated by neurons, power this. These waves propel cerebrospinal fluid through the brain, removing waste. Recent research shows silencing specific brain regions in mice stopped these waves and hindered waste removal, confirming the necessity of active neurons for this process.

The findings suggest that this self-cleaning cycle could lead to strategies for delaying or preventing neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The research emphasizes the importance of sleep for brain health, adding another reason to prioritize a good night's rest.
