Your brain uses more energy than it thinks.
You know that?
Even though our brains weigh about 2%,
Of all body weight. 🧠
Instead, it consumes about 20% of the energy.
Of the energy the body uses each day.
Every time you think, decide, remember a story.
Or even dreaming.
The brain is using oxygen and glucose.
To send signals between billions of neurons.
So that's why
When we don't get enough sleep,
The brain will work slower.
Reduced concentration
Worse memory
And make mistakes easier.
Many people think
Leisure is a waste of time.
But in fact,
Enough sleep.
Is the moment the brain repairs itself.
Organized memories
And prepare for a new day.
Sometimes...
The break.
Not laziness.
But it is.
