  • The brain uses a quarter of the body's entire energy supply, yet only accounts for about two percent of the body's mass. So how does this unique organ receive and, perhaps more importantly, rid itself of vital nutrients? New research suggests it has to do with sleep.

When my grandfather was going through heart failure, he barely slept for 6 months and kept my grandmother awake. He passed away and now she has dimentia. I always slept 8 hours a night. There was a 6 month period I only slept 4 to 5 hours a night. Then I started TM and did the night technique and I was immediately back to 8 hours the very first night.

    This video shows a lot of insight on the most complicated human organ. As a college student who gets very little sleep, this video is eye opening to see how much sleep the brain needs. When the body is awake, the brain is demanding energy and blood supplies. We have been told that sleep helps store memory, but now science has showed how the brain cleans itself. I think to have a normal function and a clearer mind, the body needs sleep so the brain can begin another day. With little sleep, it is hard to be focused. As I received maybe only 4 hours of sleep last night, I walk around campus today like a zombie who feels drowsy.
    This discovery in science has told scientists a lot about the unknown brain. I think sleep is even more important than scientists ever thought. If sleep will help prevent diseases, then that would be a break through in science. It makes sense...if sleep helps erase the waste, then no sleep leads to a back up of waste. Mental diseases could develop from this and its a theory that seems to be leading scientists down the right path. Sleep is so important to the brain and body and needs to be a priority in my opinion.

      I completely agree with this.

    This is also making me think about the positive impact of powernaps or quick sleep (15-20min). Imagine you "clearing" your brain one or two times a day by a quick nap and then a solid night sleep. That should get the brain even healthier and more responsive.
    I'm really inspired right now but at the same time my brain is giving me obvious signs on the need of a real "clearing".
    Goodnight.

    The discovery that Jeff explains in this video is one of true hope. People in the healthcare system don't always take the time to figure out why something happens or how something happens they just accept that it does and move on. If we could take the time to learn what is going on and learn why these things are occurring we could possibly prevent common diseases like this in the future. All too often, doctors jump to medication thinking that it is the only answer for the diagnosis, but what if they took the time to understand the mechanisms behind it? Would that change the way they plan to treat the patient? I think our healthcare system needs to operate like this more often. There are many diseases that are well known and the issues causing them are as well. But, what if we studied other diseases to try and get a better understanding and possibly find a treatment that works even better than the medication that was previously used. I find that pills and capsuled medications are becoming more and more popular and are used almost every time someone goes to the doctor when their could be a better alternatives somewhere that is yet to be discovered or is not that well known. I hope that research like this continues and is expanded to other diseases to inform people about what is happening and how to prevent it.

    notes!
    why is sleep so restorative?
    sleep is an elegant design for the brain’s waste removal
    -the circulatory system provides nutrients to every body cell
    -every cell creates waste; the lymphatic system removes this but there are no lymphatic cells in the brain
    -how does the brain clear its waste?
    -brain has cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) which removes waste
    -CSF moves along brain blood vessels
    this only happens when sleeping
    -when the brain sleeps, brain cells shrink, which makes room for CSF to rush through brain and remove waste!
    -when awake, brain is busy, puts off waste removal process until sleep
    what kinds of waste?
    amyloid beta (AB) - Alzheimer’s is the accumulation of AB, but this doesn’t prove a lack of sleep is the cause
    sleep literally “refreshes” the mind!

    Excellent video on some aspects of sleep science. The findings regarding beta-amyloids are quite interesting. The findings regarding cerebrospinal fluid are also interesting and surprising. But what makes cerebrospinal fluid flow and how does this vary between the wake mode and the sleep mode of the brain?

    One problem I see with his explanation is that he says the CSF only floods during periods where the brain is at its most inactive, but the human brain is even more active in REM sleep than it is during consciousness. How does he account for this apparent discrepancy?

    • @kakashi76767
      @kakashi76767 10 лет назад +2

      Correct, and a lack of REM sleep is almost as damaging to the brain as no sleep at all.

    • @23cokebottles
      @23cokebottles 10 лет назад +31

      I wonder if it has anything to do with this "cleaning system". He talks about how brain cells shrink to make room for CSF (which corresponds to early stages of sleep, right?) maybe REM sleep is a way to squeeze that fluid back out. Obviously I have no idea what I'm talking about, just a thought.

    • @HigherPlanes
      @HigherPlanes 10 лет назад +4

      I think REM happens when the brain is in Alpha or Theta, but when the brain is most relaxed, called delta, It's dreamless sleep. People who practice transcendental meditation get into the delta brainwave mode, which is why there's so much clarity that comes with meditation.

    I'm curious if and how this discovery will impact our understanding of migraines. Perhaps there is a type of waste not being cleared, or CSF is pushing on the brain while awake, like a leaky pipe. Also, which cleaning system evolved first, lymph or glymph? VERY nice work. I appreciate the love, thought and thousands of hours which go into this exciting research!

    Let's assume he's right, and that the purpose of sleep is 100% about cleaning and refreshing the fluids. Wouldn't it be theoretically possible to effectively reduce the time per day needed for sleep simply by making that process more efficient with external manipulation like nanorobots or some kind of a drug?
