A new study funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (MINDS) documents the process by which quite literally sleeping brain dumps toxins that have accumulated throughout the day.
During the study, researchers injected dye into the cerebration's fluid (SF) of mice and watched flowed through his brain while monitoring their brain electrical activity. The research team found that the fluid flows rapidly in the brains of mice when they were asleep or under anesthesia, but very slowly when the mice were awake.
One of the stud's leaders, DRP. Manikin Endangered of the University of Rochester Medical Center, said: "We were surprised how little traffic there was in the brain when the mice were awake suggested that the space between brain cells change significantly. Between conscious and unconscious states. "
In fact, when the researchers measured the space between the cells of the mouse brain using electrodes, they found that the space has increased by 60 percent when mice were asleep or under anesthesia. This is due to climactic system, a kind of plumbing mechanism that helps regulate the flow of SF in the brain, opening during the sleep cycle.
When the researchers injected label beta-myeloid, a protein linked to Alchemist's disease in the brains of mice, they found that the more rapid disappearance when mice were asleep when they were awake. As DRP. Jim Koenig, program director at MINDS summarizes: "These findings may have implications for several neurological disorders."
In addition to this study, a lot of research has found that sleep is absolutely essential for a healthy life and improve mental health reduces a number of chronic diseases. A study by the University of California, Berkeley found that lack of sleep can lead to increased cravings for junk food.
Sleeping you are struggling to get at least 7 hours of sleep per night, try changing your schedule, if possible, to ensure that you succeed. It is very important for all aspects of your life, as it is essential to your health. If you have a difficulty falling asleep, try to meditate before going to bed, even for a few moments, and keep the mail from your bed.
A cup of tea or a glass of tart cherry juice before bedtime can also help along the coast of sleep, which, according to a study published in the European Journal of Nutrition can stimulate melatonin, the hormone that signals your body it's time to sleep.
