Daytime “wash cycles” help clear waste from the brain but cause momentary drops in attention after sleepless nights.

Researchers have discovered that problems with the brain’s waste-clearing system—the glymphatic system—may significantly raise the risk of developing dementia.

Hindered movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the glymphatic system is associated with an increased risk of dementia, according to an October study published in Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
