I find it interesting how the body goes into a maintenance-type mode when we sleep.

It really makes you think about how important sleep is for our brains. It's wild to realise that when we don't get enough rest, it can seriously affect our cognitive functions and overall brain health. It’s not just about feeling tired the next day—there's so much more going on.

 

Prioritising sleep is so crucial; it’s like our brain has its own cleaning crew working while we snooze! Maybe this is a good reminder for all of us to take our sleep hygiene seriously. Let’s make sure we're getting that quality sleep, not just for our daily energy but also for keeping our brains healthy in the long run. 

I worked in IT and the military I've I've stayed up over 48 hours on occasion in emergency situtations. It's amazing how bad you end up feeling, and it's interesting to read about the science about why that occurs. Then after a long sleepless period of time, just how deep you sleep and how great you feel after waking up again.  It makes sense.  Most life on this planet has to sleep.  Sleep is important, and it makes sense that during the sleep cycle that the body purges accumulated waste that can't be flushed during the waking state.  I found this interesting.
