 believe that you are your mind. That is a delusion. The instrument has taken you
over.

crossword puzzles and builds atom bombs. You have no interest in either. Let me ask
this: can you be free of your mind whenever you want to? Have you found the off
button?
Then the mind is using you. You are unconsciously identified with it, so you
don’t even know that you are its slave.

 Sleep serves multiple purposes that are essential to your brain and body. Let’s break
down some of the most important ones. The first purpose of sleep is restoration. Every day, your brain
accumulates metabolic waste as it goes about its normal neural activities. While this is completely
normal, too much accumulation of these waste products has been linked to neurological disorders such
as Alzheimer’s disease. Alright, so how do we get rid of metabolic waste? Recent research has
suggested that sleep plays a crucial role in cleaning out the brain each night. While these toxins can be
flushed out during waking hours, researchers have found that clearance during sleep is as much as
twofold faster than during waking hours.
During sleep, brain cells actually shrink by 60 percent, allowing the brain’s
wasteremoval system—called the glymphatic system—to essentially “take out the trash” more
easily. The result? Your brain is restored during sleep, and you wake up refreshed and with a clear
mind. The second purpose of sleep is memory consolidation. Sleep is crucial for memory
consolidation, which is the process that maintains and strengthens your longterm memories.
Insufficient or fragmented sleep can hamper your ability to form both concrete memories (facts and
figures) and emotional memories. Finally, sleep is paramount for metabolic health. Studies have
shown that when you sleep 5.5 hours per night instead of 8.5 hours per night, a lower proportion of
the energy you burn comes from fat, while more comes from carbohydrate and protein. This can
predispose you to fat gain and muscle loss. Additionally, insufficient sleep or abnormal sleep
cycles can lead to insulin insensitivity and metabolic syndrome, increasing your risk of diabetes
and heart disease. (From an Internet Article by James Clear on ‘The Science of Sleep: A Brief
Guide on How to Sleep Better Every Night’)
