NeuroNugget 1 - Your Brain Doesn’t Sleep All at Once... It Sleeps in Waves 🧠

Image
Your Brain Doesn’t Sleep All at Once…It Sleeps in Waves We like to think of sleep as an “off” switch” : lights out, brain down, and everything goes quiet. But here’s the truth: Your brain never fully shuts off. Not even in your deepest sleep. 1- Sleep Isn’t a Full Brain Shutdown When you go to sleep, your brain doesn’t just power down. Some parts/regions enter rest mode. While others stay active : sorting memories, regulating your heartbeat, even watching out for danger. So you’re unconscious... but your brain is actually pretty active doing all sort of things. 2- Local Sleep: Tiny Parts of the Brain take a Nap Here’s where it gets a bit crazy😏 Local sleep is when small clusters of neurons take naps while the rest of your brain is awake.

The lenses bend light and project the image onto the retina, which is the back of your eye. But thanks to how lenses work, the image ends up upside down and reversed. That’s normal. It happens to everyone. It’s just physics. But you don’t see an upside-down world. Why? Because your brain knows how to handle it.  It’s been doing it since you were a baby. Your brain doesn’t flip the image like turning a photo. Instead, it understands the world based on context, memory, and experience. The visual ...
