How Sleep Cleanses the Brain

Recent research suggests our brains do an internal cleaning each night. During periods of deep sleep, the glymphatic system acts as our brain’s waste management system flushing out toxins. Sleep deprivation impairs this process, increasing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases and compounding the effects of traumatic brain injuries experienced by athletes. By prioritizing good sleep outcomes, athletes can support their brain health and potentially enhance cognitive function and recovery. ZWAY’s commitment to promoting restful sleep can help athletes optimize their glymphatic system and overall health.
