Nighttime Brain Detox: During deep sleep, the glymphatic system of the brain becomes active and clears toxins and waste products. In such a situation, adequate sleep is very important for memory, emotional balance and mental health. If you do not get enough sleep at night, toxins will accumulate in the brain and your mental health will deteriorate.
During good sleep, the brain repairs itself and this boosts brain function.
Sleep and Brain Health: It is often said that to stay healthy one should take adequate sleep of 7 to 8 hours every day. Good and deep sleep is often associated with rest, but scientifically it is a nightly repairing process of the body and brain. After the day’s hustle, mental stress and physical fatigue, sleep is the time when the body repairs itself. Experts believe that if sleep is not complete, it affects not only energy but also brain function, emotional balance and memory. This can worsen brain health and cause many serious problems.
Recently, Longevity and Preventive Medicine expert Dr. Thomas Pelowski has said through a post on Instagram that sleep can be considered the most powerful detox. During deep sleep the brain activates a special clean-up system, called the glymphatic system. This system clears the waste products, toxins and excess proteins accumulated in the brain with the help of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This can be called the nightly washing process of the brain, which makes us fresh for the next day. A good night’s sleep is a great way to detox the brain.
