Your Brain Doesn't Rest When You Sleep — It Switches To Its Most Powerful Mode #science

What if sleep wasn't rest at all?

Scientists have proven that many regions
of the brain — especially those involved
in learning, memory and emotion — are
actually MORE active during sleep than
when you're fully awake.

While your body is still, your brain is:
— Organising and filing your memories
— Repairing damaged nerve cells
— Solving problems you gave up on
— Flushing toxic proteins through
the glymphatic system
— Still listening to everything
happening around you

And researchers at the University of
Adelaide found that the human brain
learns more effectively in the evening
than at any other point in the day.

You've been underestimating sleep
your entire life.
