Science Bit
Every night, your brain enters deep clean-up mode. During deep sleep, it flushes out toxins like amyloid-beta proteins linked to Alzheimer’s thanks to the glymphatic system. Sleep also regulates emotional memory, learning, and immune responses. Skimp on it, and the ripple effects are everywhere from forgetfulness to lowered immunity to emotional burnout.
Soul Reflection
Imagine your mind as a small, dimly lit library. During the day, thoughts race through like hurried readers pulling books off shelves. But at night, a silent custodian appears re-shelving, dusting, and repairing torn pages.
Without rest, that library falls into chaos. We skip sleep to “get more done,” yet the cost is clarity and peace. The soul, like the body, needs its caretaker hours.
Closing Thought
You don’t need to earn rest it’s already yours. Trust the night shift. Let sleep do it's healing.
