Does your brain actually shrink while you sleep? Scientists have discovered that spaces between brain cells may expand during sleep, potentially allowing cerebrospinal fluid to circulate more freely and transport metabolic waste. This process, called glymphatic drainage, may influence brain health, memory, and the accumulation of proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease. Discover what the research reveals about the brain's remarkable nighttime housekeeping system.
