Your brain has a garbage disposal system.  Meet your Glymphatic system. The Glymphatic system is essentially a waste removal system in our brain.   A lot of research is showing that good sleep keeps this waste removal system humming along. It’s through good sleep that our brain is able to remove these “waste products.”  This ties into our talk about sleep and dementia from last week.   Now, look, there are no one-to-one connections here, but that’s what good science is all about!  Each discovery builds upon & learns from the other. You’re gonna‘ hear a lot more about the Glymphatic system in the coming months in the mainstream media.
