Came across this the other day in my travels,
During Deep Sleep, SWS pattern, the brain cells shrink up to 60% activity levels slow right down, but blood flow is maintained and ATP levels in brain goes up, a large part of this action is to perform a cleaning process in the brain to flush out waste metabolites & debris.

Reinforces the importance of good sleep to the healing process, I suspect there is a connection to MS & other chronic diseases.

Sleep, Glymphatic System and the Brain Flush

I am just an interested individual trying to crack the autoimmune nut.
Partner has Graves Disease, 5 years, showing good test results, looking forward to potential remission in the near future.
3 friends have MS, 1 just recently diagnosed, severity 7/10.

Also interested in peoples sleep patterns & experiences.
I know sleep is a problem for many with MS, still need to go through old posts, but flicking around the net found this blog, just a short text on his sleep experiences:

Is his experience very typical for others?
Am very interested in sleep topic at present, putting together some thoughts in my head.
