Lack of sleep causes your brain to EAT ITSELF to clean up worn-out cells, study reveals
[link to www.dailymail.co.uk]


Your brain starts to eat itself if it hasn't had enough sleep, according to a new study.

Researchers studied lab mice, and found that 'clean-up' cells were more active in their brains when they were sleep-deprived.

The cells, known as astrocytes, act like mini Hoovers in the brain, sweeping up cells as the brain's connections become weak and break apart.

'We show for the first time that portions of synapses are literally eaten by astrocytes because of sleep loss,' lead author Michele Bellesi told New Scientist.

According to the research team at Italy's Marche Polytechnic University, the seemingly alarming process is actually a positive thing. damned

Re: Lack of sleep causes your brain to EAT ITSELF to clean up worn-out cells, study reveals
I used to have some problems with depression until I started doing a sleep fast when feeling that way. I read about it in some Tibetian stuff 30 or so years ago so I've done it a long time now. Never need any meds, and my mood stays nice and even-steven for the most part.

I don't do anything extreme, but a days' stay up - I push it 8 hours or so, usually stay up 24, and then a sleep catch-up always sets me on the right course again if I start feeling blue or lazy. Wonder if this is partially the reason why?

Perhaps that is why many bipolar people get very creative when they are manic and not sleeping.At the same time psychosis from lack of sleep is actually brain damaging.

There can be over pruning and skills actually get lost. This article implies this might what be going on with Alzheimer's as well. People with Alzheimer's sleep very little and they have

Are we sure we are not confusing this with intermittent fasting?
Interesting didn't the vision quests of certain tribes rely on fasting and sleep deprivation to enter altered states.
