New research shows attention lapses due to sleep deprivation coincide with a flushing of fluid from the brain โ€” a process that normally occurs during sleep. news.mit.edu/2025/your-br...

What really happens in your brain when you donโ€™t sleep enough?

Our new study in Nature Neuroscience reveals that when youโ€™re sleep-deprived and attention drops, your brain starts to look like asleep: with large waves of CSF rushing through the brain, similar to what happens during sleep.

We demonstrate that attentional failures caused by SD are coupled to large-scale brain fluid transport.
