The Importance Of Sleeping
Timothy Grant, Medical Director of Baptist Sleep Center at Baptist Outpatient Services, says sleeping is very important for our health, because the brain is often more active at night than it is during the daytime. "You use more sugar at night in your brain, you use more oxygen at different parts of the night in your brain than you would when you are awake," he points out.
He also says there are parts of the night when you actually clean out the waste products from your brain that you cannot do during the daytime, so he recommends being able to sleep, so you can rejuvenate your brain to be able to consolidate memories and to feel refreshed for the next day.
