🔥 Wakeful Sparks, 🧠 Tired Minds, 🧯 Sleep’s Mito Fix
Manage episode 494974067 series 2740117
🧠✨ New Insights into Why We Sleep! ✨🛏️
Just read a groundbreaking study in Nature showing that leaky mitochondria in sleep-inducing neurons (dFBNs) drive the pressure to sleep! 😴🧬
Turns out, electron overflow and oxidative stress during wakefulness aren’t just metabolic side effects—they’re biological signals telling the brain it’s time to rest. 🔋➡️💥➡️🛌
Mitochondrial fission decreases sleep, fusion promotes it, and sleep literally resets neuronal metabolism.
A must-read for anyone interested in neuroscience, metabolism, or the biology of rest. 🧪🧠🔄
