The whole idea behind sleep is that we do a couple things. We rest the body, but we also get into a deep enough sleep where we rest our brains. And our brains actually get a chance to detoxify. If you're in a deep enough sleep, it's called non-REM level three sleep. You know, you're not dreaming. You're actually out cold, basically. Your brain cells actually

shrink. And then cerebral spinal fluid can flow through the brain and clean the brain up.

It's important to get four or five hours of that every single night.
