Deep Sleep Brain Detox

Meaning

Deep Sleep Brain Detox describes the critical restorative process occurring predominantly during the deep, slow-wave stages of non-REM sleep, characterized by the active clearance of metabolic waste products from the central nervous system. This vital detoxification relies heavily on the glymphatic system, a network that functions dramatically more effectively during sleep than during wakefulness. Optimal deep sleep is therefore indispensable for preventing the accumulation of neurotoxic proteins, such as amyloid-beta, and maintaining long-term brain health. It is the brain’s necessary housekeeping function.
