Story at-a-glance
Overwhelming evidence shows adequate sleep is essential for optimal productiveness and creativity
Dreaming, which occurs during the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep cycle, promotes creativity and creative problem-solving. At this time, new information is integrated into older data and novel connections between the old and the new are built, allowing new solutions to emerge
Dreaming is also important for psychological well-being and can be likened to overnight therapy, as it eases the emotional sting of painful experiences
When you upset your circadian rhythm, the results cascade through your system, raising blood pressure, dysregulating hunger hormones and blood sugar, increasing the expression of genes associated with inflammation, immune excitability, diabetes, cancer risk and stress and much more
Your glymphatic system also only activates during deep sleep, thereby allowing your brain to clear out toxins, including harmful proteins linked to brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s
