- The brain uses a quarter of the body's entire energy supply, yet only accounts for about two percent of the body's mass. So how does this unique organ receive and, perhaps more importantly, rid itself of vital nutrients? New research suggests it has to do with sleep.

Wow! Thank you. My mother suffered from insomina almost her entire life. And in her early 50's developed Alzheimers. She also suffered from a variety of mental illnesses in her lifetime. She rarely slept. This shed a new light on the subject.
Anji Udy- I have sympathy for you and your family for having to live with that terrible disorder. My worst days kept me from sleeping and it perpetuated the harshness of the issues. When my grandfather was going through heart failure, he barely slept for 6 months and kept my grandmother awake. He passed away and now she has dimentia. I always slept 8 hours a night. There was a 6 month period I only slept 4 to 5 hours a night. Then I started TM and did the night technique and I was immediately back to 8 hours the very first night.
Wow, my mother is in almost exactly the same situation as yours, only difference is she's in her 40s and doesn't have Alzheimers and I hope it doesn't get to that, she's already starting to forget and slowly losing her hearing, lots of aliments and terrible insomnia, I'm incredibly worried 😖
Rick Diaz I fall asleep fast and things have gotten better, but I always wake up and toss and turn at night because of worry of insomnia. Any advice?
@@Joe-kn4es look up biphasic sleep, it works like magic
@@Joe-kn4es,
What you need do is search ‘Roger Ekirch Sleep’.
Then you will find that awaking at the middle of the night is often a perfectly normal sign that you have gotten your first, mostly deep sleep early enough, and that you’re not sleep-deprived.
Shout out to the guy who fell asleep in the audience
lol
Lol
Lol
lol
So what you're saying is i need sleep, say no more I'm convinced. Zzzzzzz
I doubt I'm the only person watching this at 2 AM...instead of sleeping
nope
lmao it's 3 AM here
Watching this at 6:17 am lol
Watching this at 6am with no sleep the night before, although I am jet lagged.
3:54 to be precise
My cat has a very clean brain.
LOL
Mine too
All the cats
I toó why not
Nice one. I love cats
This video shows a lot of insight on the most complicated human organ. As a college student who gets very little sleep, this video is eye opening to see how much sleep the brain needs. When the body is awake, the brain is demanding energy and blood supplies. We have been told that sleep helps store memory, but now science has showed how the brain cleans itself. I think to have a normal function and a clearer mind, the body needs sleep so the brain can begin another day. With little sleep, it is hard to be focused. As I received maybe only 4 hours of sleep last night, I walk around campus today like a zombie who feels drowsy.
This discovery in science has told scientists a lot about the unknown brain. I think sleep is even more important than scientists ever thought. If sleep will help prevent diseases, then that would be a break through in science. It makes sense...if sleep helps erase the waste, then no sleep leads to a back up of waste. Mental diseases could develop from this and its a theory that seems to be leading scientists down the right path. Sleep is so important to the brain and body and needs to be a priority in my opinion.
We need to find excitement in what we do. Which is sometimes hard. But that with solid sleep would be healthy for us.
I am so glad millennials are listening! This short lecture makes me want to treat my brain with so much love and respect for having directed my life so well.
When I was young, I worked and studied so many hours every day that the thought of 4-5 hrs of sleep was a luxury. Now at 75, I eat and sleep to feed my brain and live and learn daily, hoping to avoid diseases.
Does it not amaze you that Galen, two thousand years ago knew more than today's scientists? - Read Graham Hancock's book "Fingerprints of the Gods" which reveals the answers. Are we a species with amnesia? Visit his website to understand why. grahamhancock.com/books/
I completely agree with this. I've always known that sleep is needed, but to learn that the brain is essentially cleaning itself when we sleep makes me immediately realize that I've been neglecting it. I too am a college student and watching this changed my perspective and I plan to take sleep far more seriously.

Brain is explaining about itself the important of sleep

Chronic lack of sleep, chronic foods that cause inflammation and lack of nutrients.
I bet these two play huge factors in why SO MANY people develop anxiety these years.
Cheerios !
Exactly!
Keep the sleep videos coming, it's importance never seems to stick with me.

Have a rest and sleep
You can recover your condition
This is my achademy's chosen video
I found this not only helpful but exciting. I love having a good night’s sleep. I need 7 hours exactly and i don’t even have an alarm set. I am most creative after a good night’s sleep. Isn’t it amazing how we once again find another facet of God’s divine creation!
This is such an inspiring study , I can't believe how many times I rewatched this talk since last year , I mentioned these informations in my presentation about Alzheimer's disease in med school , thanks Dr Jeff 😉 I hope one day I will be able to do some great works in neuroscience just like this one
Outstanding lecture!
Thanks to scientists like Jeff, we we are being lifted out of ignorance of our universe and to ourselves into an enlightened state of being. That is a greater degree of consciousness.
Thanks Jeff.
Well on one hand you have people like Jeff . . . _and then there are the religious ones~_
whelp.. time to send this to ALL my college professors when i pass out in class.
This is my first time watching this TED talk. This is now one of my favorite talks. It is so insightful, informative, and entertaining.
This is also making me think about the positive impact of powernaps or quick sleep (15-20min). Imagine you "clearing" your brain one or two times a day by a quick nap and then a solid night sleep. That should get the brain even healthier and more responsive.
I'm really inspired right now but at the same time my brain is giving me obvious signs on the need of a real "clearing".
Goodnight.
Very good presentation: Clear and concise and leaving the viewer with just enough information that can be remembered. 6/2019
Nice to see someone who didn't overload us with examples and analogies and stuck to just one
Most underrated TED talk in regard to actual consequences for everyones life. Good sleep is the most important factor for health, affect/mood, cognitive functions etc.
Great talk, the way he presented the story and conclusion was incredible.
It's always inspiring to see smart people on stage.
Kinda ironic watching this at 2am
Shivanand Pattanshetti pretty sure I could find a video on youtube about how night sleep is more important and effective than day sleep. =)
kinda ironic we live in a world that demands everyone avoid sleep and yet we can't blame Alzheimer's on these factors or sue our employer for causing these conditions.
hiphopromanesc.com
yes, I'm sure there are plenty of that concerning illumination and endocrine system activity
watching this at 4 am.
Yes!
Jeff, you're an excellent educator!
When binging on TH-cam videos when I should be sleeping, I watch videos about the importance of sleep. It gets me to go to sleep very quickly. 👍👍
beautiful talk, there is so much more to learn about our own bodies.
So clearly explained and exciting to see what's going on when we sleep 👌🏻
Super fascinating, concise and also easy to make sense of for a non scientist. Thank you!
This is one of the best videos ive watched. period. well done
grazie mille per la traduzione, per settimane ho faticato nella traduzione e ora ho colmato le lacune, grazie mille
Great presentation! I started cringing towards the end as I realized how little I sleep compared to how much I should sleep.
I have been very unstable lately due to not getting sleep. Thanks Ted for making me understand maybe why that is.
I have liked the way he has explained processes in the brain!
Great TED Talk. I learned a lot. Thank you!
absolutely INCREDIBLE video!!! Explains why people have "breakthrough thinking" in their early morning hours (Hour of Power)...avoid brain clog....go to bed earlier it all catches up to us.... all this in 11 minutes... THIS GUY WAS GOOOOOD
The discovery that Jeff explains in this video is one of true hope. People in the healthcare system don't always take the time to figure out why something happens or how something happens they just accept that it does and move on. If we could take the time to learn what is going on and learn why these things are occurring we could possibly prevent common diseases like this in the future. All too often, doctors jump to medication thinking that it is the only answer for the diagnosis, but what if they took the time to understand the mechanisms behind it? Would that change the way they plan to treat the patient? I think our healthcare system needs to operate like this more often. There are many diseases that are well known and the issues causing them are as well. But, what if we studied other diseases to try and get a better understanding and possibly find a treatment that works even better than the medication that was previously used. I find that pills and capsuled medications are becoming more and more popular and are used almost every time someone goes to the doctor when their could be a better alternatives somewhere that is yet to be discovered or is not that well known. I hope that research like this continues and is expanded to other diseases to inform people about what is happening and how to prevent it.
Some people know what is the root problems of (I think almost) all diseases like Alzheimer disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, aging, coma, etc. as well as how cells really are and function, such as Ray Peat, Otto Heinrich Warburg, and Gilbert Ling.
Ray Peat's site: raypeat.com/
Gilbert Ling's site: www.gilbertling.org/
I think health care in the future will focus more on understanding the cause rather than fixing the symptoms with a pill. The body knows how to heal. We need to work with this. Drugs are working against the body.
Medicine school only teacher to student how drugs to prescribes.
Deep sleep means dreams ? or dreams could happend outside of the deep sleep ?
Sugar. Sugar causes and or exacerbates almost every single health problem in the western world. Don't believe me? Try and cut sugar from your diet. If you even succeed for a week.... You'll understand.
I thoroughly enjoyed this insight. 100%
What a beautiful laid out explanation
Side effect of research publication.
Amazing speech! Thank you!
Excellent speaker! Amazing topic!
Dr Jeff lliff excellent TED presentation, amazingly interesting
Excellent, thank you.
Very very useful in a very basic way! Well done...
this talk is amazing thank you
Wow, absolutely fascinating talk!
Fascinating talk - thank you!
Excellent video I remembered a lecture years ago about This and how they developed in the brain, some how that research was stopped. In my mind it makes sense today. It only occurred in the brains of alcohol users over time.
I wish he addressed when was the best time to go to sleep and wake for optimal brain health. Great presentation. I get good sleep, but this reinforces good habits over bad. After reading some comments, the idea of insomnia sounds terrifying. Not being able to sleep. Scary.
Amazing, thank you I will share on!!! :)
Important for kids ,students, young people or less young....to get a good sleep !! All of us need a good sleep, also for so many other reasons !!.... Great job.
You are speech is amazing.
I'm curious if and how this discovery will impact our understanding of migraines. Perhaps there is a type of waste not being cleared, or CSF is pushing on the brain while awake, like a leaky pipe. Also, which cleaning system evolved first, lymph or glymph? VERY nice work. I appreciate the love, thought and thousands of hours which go into this exciting research!
Bravo👏👏👏it's very important and interesting information😊😍thank u so much
Wow.. This video was pretty useful and very informative and interesting.
Now if only I actually could get a good night's sleep.
***** As it is also interconnected with spine problems, anxiety, depression and a whole lot of other things.
***** And not having nightmares every night, right?
Have more Magnesium(Mg) intake. It helps with sleep. Bolthouse Farms has a drink called "Vanilla Chai tea". Its really good in helping with sleep.
Now if I could only get myself to bed at a decent time..
And people make fun of me for sleeping 8-10h a day... I'll be laughing when you can't remember your own name!
Hahahahaha
Same here
@OmegaAlphaTau do you know what is the percentage of those who oversleep and that of those who undersleep?
@OmegaAlphaTau Yes but 8 - 10 hours is fine. 7-8 is the ideal minimum for peak performance sleep (only in adults, the younger you are the more you need). 10 hours isn't the danger zone.
Same
I'm watching this when I should be reading for college. Well, the topics kinda line up, so it works.
This new discovery is really fascinating. It might lead to new treatments for brain diseases. Ted talk is one of the best of all out there.
This explains why so many sleep deprived people suffer from stress and depression. A lack of sleep can lead to anxiety and even diabetes. Rather worrying in this age of 24/7 “entertainment”.
Useful and interesting...
Fascinating. Thanks for posting:)
One of the best TED vedios
Thank you!
Excellent video on some aspects of sleep science. The findings regarding beta-amyloids are quite interesting. The findings regarding cerebrospinal fluid are also interesting and surprising. But what makes cerebrospinal fluid flow and how does this vary between the wake mode and the sleep mode of the brain?
5am and I'm still awake. Great!
OF COURSE I would see this after not sleeping well last night. Thanks Ted-Ed.
Please recommend these earlier in the day, TH-cam. Otherwise I end up watching these at midnight.
As a Muslim girl, I was struck by how this lecturer is fascinated by the mechanism of the brain’s work and the accuracy in its manufacture and creation.. I would like to tell him that this beauty, science and accuracy in making, came from the Great Allah who created us and created.
everything with great precision and wisdom, the Almighty.
سبحان الله العظيم خالق كل شيء ✨.
I should have known about that video many years ago!!!
Great presentation ❤
Now, this is what I'm talking about. This is an exceptional TED talk, not like that new-agy crap they've been posting lately.
One of my favorite videos !!!! :D
Thank you for making Japanese sub
Nice !!! love it ! it meant alot to me
While listening the one of the old Greek physician's ideas presented in this talk, i was thinking that may be we should introduce something like Bonferroni correction for Multiple Hypothesis Matching... given enough crazy thinkers, there will always be one whose ideas will fall in line with current scientific paradigm ;)
Woah, talk about a wake call!
I am currently sleeping less than 3 to 4 hours a night, I get into a position of spine decompression, I also have a pad and pillow that has a kind of acupressure and am currently devoting time to a hyperbaric chamber/Float therapy box that also does self hypnosis that would include topical nutrients in mass amounts of anti oxide to help my fluid last longer without recharge, and treatment for our skin based on known bloodlevels of healthy skin's with nutritional content.
Few slides, correct deep professional non-stop talking...man you know your job! kudos
This talk has literally put me to sleep ;)
eyeCU13 lmao
Not clever or funny
Doesn't make sense, if it has LITERALLY put you to sleep are you writing in your sleep ?
Would it be possible to trigger the process while you are awake? I wonder what that experience would feel like.
Standing O for this man!
Interesting speech.
I've read the UC Berkeley news last year about their findings that poor sleep can lead to dementia. Listening to Jiff, it all makes sense to me. Here's an except of UC Berkeley article:
“Our findings reveal a new pathway through which Alzheimer’s disease may cause memory decline later in life,” said UC Berkeley neuroscience professor Matthew Walker, senior author of the study published today in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
Additionally, I've watched Dave Asprey's recent videos in his TH-cam's Bulletproof channel talking about sleep quality, which he also talked about the glymphatic system.
A very interesting video explaining the real reason for sleep. Now I can understand why we feel all foggy and lazy if we don't get enough sleep.
How’s is your sleeping after 7yrs? lol
God is absolutely amazing! Designing our bodies for work, the rhythms of day and night for work and rest, and actually granting us refreshment when we sleep through the maintenance of our brains! Glory be to the Father, to Jesus Christ, and to the Holy Spirit, one God in three persons; blessed Trinity!
Absolutely fascinating video! Thank you for sharing such great information. Makes me think, wow! God is such an amazing Creator!!
When you have an assignment to submit the next day, and writing a summary about this video happens to be the assignment. Mind you, it's 3 am and I'm going stay up late finishing this off. FML.
Hi, it's me, your future you!
Clever design. Thank you Jesus!
Bemused but not confused. Been there ... done that...attaching religion to this...??? don't brag but take credit where it is due. What you state is your opinion only..... repeat ...only
Really?
superb informative presentation! thank you.
so good dr
This was actually brilliant. Watching this at 9:23 pm! Woohoo!!!
Amazing!
Anyone knows, where to find the papers to this study?
Would like to look at the details. For example in which cycles it happens. Does it happens the whole night. Are there intervals, etc
Good video I learned a lot. 😄
This is so cool. And helpful for lazy people (like me).
Was there a specific stage when you saw the CSF rushing in? Stage 4 maybe had the most flow?
That was some good game. Chuuch
That is an ingenious way of our brain to do such a task. Although, how long does it usually take? Does it take the 8 hours which is usually recommended for sleep or is it only a single hour?
Amazing knowledge, you just have to put your brain on it...
Can you do the same research with meditative brain. Because when we sleep our brain is at rest, and while meditating brain and mind is at rest. It would be great if that resesrch can be done on meditation .
When a person is asleep, he enters into a deep state of meditation. When the sleepingbrain is in the delta and theta waves frequency similar to deep meditation, the same cleaning process is likely to happen too.
Meditation is OK but nothing beats a cat nap. Your mind is so refreshed afterwards.
Thanks
Now I really appreciate the sleeping and my brain😘😘
Very interesting stuff. The brain is--by far--the most complex and mysterious organ in the body.
