Week 4
Sleep and health are closely related. I can speak from experience with having a long run with trying to get some quality sleep. Some nights I will only sleep 2 hours, others I will sleep the whole night. I can very much feel the effect of a loss of sleep. I think everyone can relate to having a terrible nights sleep, or maybe even a few nights in a row when stress or any other outside influence is in motion.
As far as sleep cleaning the brain, I can understand that idea. I am a firm believer in sleep cleans the body of toxins as well, so why would the brain be involved in the flushing of the day's intake and the body's storage of such toxins. As far as the cells shrinking to allow for the plumbing to work and clean and flush, to me that makes perfect sense. Why wouldn't the cells relax and shrink a little when they aren't needed to control the whole body, its their time to breathe.
As far as the moon cycles, I have noticed that poor sleep has been getting more and more present in the day leading up to the full moon, and even for a night or so afterwards. This past week, on Tuesday night, I slept about 2.5 hours, and not a whole lot more on Wednesday night. Come to think of it, I only slept about 3 hours on Monday night also. So an fully aware of the full moon and no sleep.
