Why do we sleep? Why sleep is necessary? It has been known for a long time that preventing animals or people from sleeping ends up causing their death. Two decades ago the research on sleep and its pathologies. More recent results seem to indicate that the main function of sleep is the elimination of toxic substances produced by cerebral metabolism during the wakeful period, for which it uses a cerebral circulatory system called the “glymphatic” system. The dream marks the time to take out the garbage and put it in the proper container. This is probably the main reason why poor sleep affects our intellectual abilities so much the next day. The brain has not been able to get rid of all the debris of the previous day and, in addition, it continues to accumulate due to the waking activities of the following day. This causes us to be made foxes throughout the day.
