The amazing things that happen to us during sleep

in #health7 years ago
  1. We experience several cycles of sleep
    First, the body goes through the first stage of slow sleep. We begin to doze, but we are still partially aware of the surrounding reality. After the second and third stages, the fast sleep phase begins. During it we have dreams.

  1. Waste from the brain
    According to research by Garbage Truck of the Brain, during the sleep the waste management system is activated. Through the brain, spinal fluid is sped up faster.

  2. New information is stored in memory
    During sleep, the brain moves information from short-term memory to long-term memory. Therefore, sleep is so important for learning. It literally helps to consolidate the received information for further use.

  3. We lose the ability to move temporarily
    In the fast sleep phase, the brain disconnects the neurons responsible for movement. Such a temporary paralysis is necessary for our own safety.
