I'm just learning about the GLYMPHATIC system:
the LYMPHATIC system cleans & drains wastes from your blood. It's named for the Roman deity of fresh water, Lympha.
The GLYMPHATIC is a parallel brain-cleaning system mediated by glial cells using cerebrospinal fluid.
Is your brain clean enough? 🧠⛲😉

So apparently we now know why we sleep?!
A study published this week in Cell shows that although sedatives and anesthetics out you to “sleep”, they don’t allow for normal glymphatic clearance of waste products that occurs during sleep.

Now, they need to discover the one that clears bad vibes, because mine isn't working right.
Your brain worm is your conscience, sort of like Jiminy Cricket, so you need him healthy.
Sure can't be any worse than now!
Don't snort Miralax. Your brain might evacuate right down your nose with that stuff.
Gather herbs. Don't bother identifying them, they're all natural. 😉 Take them, and your vibes will clear. Or at any rate, something will happen.
But I guess you're right about the herbs. I've sniffed a spice rack once. That practically makes me an expert anyway.
But should I make tea or smoke them? Hmm...
This *could* be important in diseases where misfolded or damaged protein accumulates (brain proteinopathies) like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, AML.
This explains the absolute biological need for sleep: we're performing essential brain cleaning & feeding during that time. Maintain the brain!
The same processes DON'T occur during medical sedation.
Really fascinating topic. There's a scientific primer on it here:

Unrelated advances can unlock new discoveries!
"two-photon* microscopy" I don't want you guys thinking it's just taking two photographs 😁.
It's using higher wavelengths of light to image deeper into tissues, letting us see living processes in cells, especially in the brain.
