Sleep deprivation reliably caused attention failures despite their obvious dangers, like the potentially fatal consequences ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which cushions the brain and spinal cord and removes accumulated waste, plays a crucial role in ...

New research shows that during moments of lost focus after poor sleep, the brain releases a wave of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—the same cleansing process that normally occurs during deep sleep.

Scientists found that attention lapses due to sleep deprivation coincide with a flushing of fluid from the brain.

A study suggests sleep-deprivation impairs attention as the brain prioritizes waste clearance over cognitive function during ...

After a night of poor sleep, you don't feel as alert as you should. Your brain might seem foggy, and your mind drifts off when you should be paying attention.

A tribute to Dr. Mark Hallett, whose pioneering work in movement disorders reveals that awareness — not effort — is the true ...

A study investigates how sleep deprivation affects attention due to the brain's attempt at waste cleansing during wakefulness. Researchers found that cerebrospinal fluid cleansing intrudes into ...

Why the brain feels "foggy" after a poor night's sleep has finally been explained. Attention lapses due to sleep deprivation coincide with a flushing of fluid from the brain - a process that normally ...
