Lack of sleep is more dangerous than you've ever thought: According to a new research, the brain starts eating its own connections, worn-out cells and debris when it doesn't get enough sleep. This is as scary as it can get: If you don't sleep enough, you are exposing yourself to unthinkable consequences.
Researchers recently found that not getting enough sleep consistently could cause the brain to clear a significant amount of neurons and synaptic connections, while adding that making up for the lost sleep may not be able to undo the damage. In essence, not getting sleep may be causing our brain to start eating itself!
