Severe sleep loss doesn’t just make you tired—your brain literally starts eating itself. 😱
A study in the Journal of Neuroscience found that prolonged sleep deprivation makes astrocytes begin breaking down healthy synapses, while microglial cells become hyperactive in patterns seen in early Alzheimer’s disease (Bellesi et al., 2017).
Bottom line: chronic sleep deprivation = long-term brain damage risk.

Rules are as follows:
1. Warm up your fingers, and your wrists.
2. Then make a fist (thumb free) with one hand, and with the other hand point 4 fingers at the fist.
