experiment in rodents showed that sleep is essential to clear accumulated toxins in the brain during the day. When we sleep, decrease nerve cells, making room for fluids do literally brainwashed.

The discovery was made in the laboratory of scientists from the University of Rochester, USA, who used a sophisticated technique of laser microscopy to observe tissues of living animals. Toxins that accumulate regularly in the brain stem of normal organ and need to be eliminated some time.

mice agreed with sleeping, researchers showed that the cerebrospinal fluid – fluid that permeates the brain – pass more freely through the brain during sleep. This can be one of the main reasons why sleep is essential for many animals.

study with the results of the experiment came out in the latest edition of the journal Science.
