Your brain clears out toxins only while you sleep. Sleep deprivation causes cognitive decline and can be fatal. Body temperature matters: being too hot or cold disrupts the process and hurts your brain's ability to detox.
The only time that the brain can detox is when it's asleep. And so that's why when you look at people that are sleep deprived and you start seeing how their mental functions start to falter and fail, and it actually becomes fatal if you go, you know, they tried to push that to the limit. And so sleep is, you know, we spend a third of our lives asleep. And the process of detoxing the brain and recovery, it's really circulation dependent. So the more circulation you have, you talk about being too hot, some people are too cold. All of that is going to impact sleep negatively. When you're looking at, like, having increased circulation to the brain, that's going to help you recover. It's going to help promote restful sleep. So it really is critical to optimizing your sleep.
