here are some reminders and advices in case you needed them today:

🌸 remember to drink water! it boosts skin health, it helps maintain blood pressure, it improves energy and it clears toxins. 🌸 don't forget to take your meds! if you tend to forget about it, you can use specific apps such as "Medication Reminder & Pill Tracker" to help you.

🌸 don't forget to eat. skipping meals can only add to your mood swings and stress.

🌸 take some time for yourself today. listen to some good music without any distractions, paint something silly, go for a walk if you feel like going outside, write something, meditate. do whatever makes you feel at peace.

🌸 get enough sleep. i think the benefits of getting enough sleep are pretty clear. it detoxes the brain, it gives you more energy, it improves your mood.

🌸 relax. unclaw your jaw. relax your shoulders. breathe.

🌸 you are loved. your feelings are valid and you matter.

please, take care of yourself! all the love.

Scientists Now Know How Sleep Cleans Toxins From the Brain

“What she discovered was that during non-REM sleep, large, slow waves of cerebrospinal fluid were washing over the brain. The EEG readings helped show why. During non-REM sleep, neurons start to synchronize, turning on and off at the same time. “First you would see this electrical wave where all the neurons would go quiet,” says Lewis. Because the neurons had all momentarily stopped firing, they didn’t need as much oxygen. That meant less blood would flow to the brain. But Lewis’s team also observed that cerebrospinal fluid would then rush in, filling in the space left behind.“It’s a fantastic paper,” says Maiken Nedergaard, a neuroscientist at the University of Rochester who led the 2013 study that first described how sleep can clear out toxins in mice. “I don’t think anybody in their wildest fantasy has really shown that the brain’s electrical activity is moving fluid. So that’s really exciting.”One big contribution of the paper is it helps show that the systems Nedergaard has been studying in mice are present and hugely important for humans too. “It’s telling you sleep is not just to relax,” says Nedergaard. “Sleep is actually a very distinct function.” Neurons don't all turn off at the same time when we're awake. So brain blood levels don't drop enough to allow substantial waves of cerebrospinal fluid to circulate around the brain and clear out all the metabolic byproducts that accumulate, like beta amyloid.”

Tonight I’m going to sleep at 10 pm and I’m going to be so well-rested in the morning. Sleep deprivation? We don’t stan her in this house.
