Sleep Deprivation: Resting Helps Clear Toxins from the Brain

by InstaSleep · Dec 22, 2017

InstaSleep Reviews Team article notes:

  • You can live for about three minutes without air, three days without water and about 21 days without food. But in between food and water, there is something else critically essential: sleep. It turns out you can only live about 11 days without sleep. Just like the other essentials, after day 11 you will probably die.
  • When it comes to the brain, we have no artificial way to replicate nature. That’s where sleep comes in, by reducing the brain’s size to make room for the mental mouthwash. The process of sleep very elegantly acts as a cleansing agent to remove the brain’s toxins.
