  • 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.

      Anji Udy- I have sympathy for you and your family for having to live with that terrible disorder. My worst days kept me from sleeping and it perpetuated the harshness of the issues. 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.

      When I was young, I worked and studied so many hours every day that the thought of 4-5 hrs of sleep was a luxury. Now at 75, I eat and sleep to feed my brain and live and learn daily, hoping to avoid diseases.

      I completely agree with this. I've always known that sleep is needed, but to learn that the brain is essentially cleaning itself when we sleep makes me immediately realize that I've been neglecting it. I too am a college student and watching this changed my perspective and I plan to take sleep far more seriously.

    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.

      Meditation is OK but nothing beats a cat nap. Your mind is so refreshed afterwards.

    While listening the one of the old Greek physician's ideas presented in this talk, i was thinking that may be we should introduce something like Bonferroni correction for Multiple Hypothesis Matching... given enough crazy thinkers, there will always be one whose ideas will fall in line with current scientific paradigm ;)

    I've read the UC Berkeley news last year about their findings that poor sleep can lead to dementia. Listening to Jiff, it all makes sense to me. Here's an except of UC Berkeley article:
    “Our findings reveal a new pathway through which Alzheimer’s disease may cause memory decline later in life,” said UC Berkeley neuroscience professor Matthew Walker, senior author of the study published today in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
    Additionally, I've watched Dave Asprey's recent videos in his UA-cam's Bulletproof channel talking about sleep quality, which he also talked about the glymphatic system.

    That is an ingenious way of our brain to do such a task. Although, how long does it usually take? Does it take the 8 hours which is usually recommended for sleep or is it only a single hour?

    Regarding the 8m47s mark, Dan Pardi on the neurohacker podcast, suggests the body produces these beta-amyloid proteins outside the cells as a response to protect itself, and it provides scaffolding within the cells... and that the effort should be to promote those natural processes that clear it, rather than externally trying to remove them, since that may cause more harm than good.
    Also are all stages of sleep, observed to have the same level of glymphatic/cleanup activity? For example, if REM time is maximum as a fetus, and decreases linearly as we age, are there differences in the CSF flow between REM and NREM (5m20s)? REM sleep also seems to heighten with heat, for example, when you're sick with the flu... does it make sense to try to promote REM sleep (ex. via Galantamine)?

    I wonder how long after you go to sleep does this occur and if someone does not sleep well at night but are able to nap in the afternoon for about 30 minutes would it work then or does it need the full eight hours at one time?

  • @MikeTrieu
    @MikeTrieu 9 років тому +11

    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 9 років тому +2

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

    • @23cokebottles
      @23cokebottles 9 років тому +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 9 років тому +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.
