Recently, research has surfaced showing what goes on in the brain that brings about these negative effects. Both articles from the Medical Press and the Telegraph stated that new implications from research show “sleep deprivation stops brain cells communicating properly and affects how people see the world around them.” That is pretty wild, but they went on to state that it “shows that parts of the brain actually turn themselves off to rest even though a person is still awake.” The new research according to the Telegraph:

“Brain scans of sleep deprived people by scientists at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) have shown for the first time that fatigue disrupts the speed the brain cells communicate and prevents memories being encoded properly. It also causes temporary lapses in memory and vision.”

It was reported that the Professor of Neurosurgery, Dr. Itzhak Fried, stated:

“Starving the body of sleep also robs neurons of the ability to function properly. This paves the way for cognitive lapses in how we perceive and react to the world around us. The very act of seeing the pedestrian slows down in the driver’s over-tired brain. It takes longer for his brain to register what he’s perceiving. Inadequate sleep exerts a similar influence on our brain as drinking too much. Yet no legal or medical standards exist for identifying over-tired drivers on the road the same way we target drunk drivers.”

Dr. Fried also spoke of more findings suggesting:

“Slow sleep-like waves disrupted the patients’ brain activity and performance of tasks. This phenomenon suggests that select regions of the patients’ brains were dozing, causing mental lapses, while the rest of the brain was awake and running as usual.”

Another study was done, this time on sleep deprived epileptic patients who had electrodes on their brain as they were asked to identify images quickly. The results were somewhat unexpected. Dr. Yuval Nir of Tel-Aviv University, a lead author, stated:

“We were fascinated to observe how sleep deprivation dampened brain cell activity, unlike the usual rapid reaction, the neurons responded slowly, fired more weakly and their transmissions dragged on longer than usual.”

      I found fasting helps because your body is usually working on digesting and it can work on repairing other areas if you give it a break
