What Happens When You Sleep?

A recent study suggests that, the brain cells get smaller in size up to 60% while you are asleep. The purpose of this decrease is to clean the cellular waste more proficiently. When the brain undergoes this cleaning process, it consumes more energy.
According to this new study, when an individual sleeps, the glymphatic system becomes more active in comparison to the time when the brain is awake. When a person sleeps, the activities of brain increases and helps the fluid to clean the brain passage. Moreover, the proteins that are responsible for Alzheimer’s and other neurological disorders are kept aside of the system effectively when we sleep.
