Brain Rules

Sleep

Rule #7
Sleep well, think well.

The brain is in a constant state of tension between cells and
chemicals that try to put you to sleep and cells and chemicals that
try to keep you awake.

The neurons of your brain show vigorous rhythmical activity when
you’re asleep—perhaps replaying what you learned that day.

People vary in how much sleep they need and when they prefer to
get it, but the biological drive for an afternoon nap is universal.

Loss of sleep hurts attention, executive function, working memory, mood, quantitative skills, logical reasoning, and even motor dexterity.
