Sound Sleep Could Alleviate Traumatic Brain Injury: Study

It is no surprise that sound sleep provides benefits galore, but a new study published in 'Journal of Neurotrauma' discovered that it could considerably heal traumatic brain injury as well. The study employed MRI to assess the enlargement of the brain's perivascular spaces since an uptick in their size indicates the development of dementia. Reportedly, people with inadequate sleep exhibited more enlarged spaces and post-concussive symptoms, implying that sound sleep facilitates the brain's efficient cleaning.
