The brain flushes cerebrospinal fluid through itself during sleep, cleaning out spent fuel (beta, tau, amyloids and such). Buildup of amyloids in the brain is linked with Alzheimer’s disease. Anything the fluid touches activates neurons so the body has to be immobilized for the process otherwise you’ll flail around during the sleep process (See: Sleepwalking and night terrors). Memory consolidation and repair also occur in this stage. The optical clusters are so important for survival in evolution, they are never turned off, so dreams occur as the fluid hits neurons causing rapid eye movements (REM).
There was a BBC article/paper I read like a decade ago talking about the role/function of sleep in animals/organisms.
That first long morning piss? That’s all spent brain fuel.
If I got something wrong feel free to correct me, I’m going off years old information from the Interwebs__
It’s reasonable when you are inviting others to step in to correct your response, just in case you are misremembering something.
It’s not other people’s responsibility to conduct research and finding sources on our behalf, but it’s fair to ask for sources because the person who initiated the conversation can share the source they are basing their information on, inviting scrutiny and dialogue.
i think we’re just on the wrong page tonight. i feel like i had too much to drink and now i’m picking a fight with a friend’s friend. can we pick this up another time? i’m not a bad person, and i don’t think you’re one, either.

am i missing something? you just said all of that and then said “i saw it in a paper once. correct me if i’m wrong”.

I love your username.
wow, you’re either an llm or no smarter than one.
I mean, you care to elaborate? Use complete sentences, maybe?
Because so far, it just sounds like you want to criticize, and not engaging looking to learn something or add value to the conversation.
i just think the last think you wrote was nonsense. don’t get a fly up your ass.
But why exactly?
i think we’re just on the wrong page tonight. i feel like i had too much to drink and now i’m picking a fight with a friend’s friend. can we pick this up another time? i’m not a bad person, and i don’t think you’re one, either.
Maybe you ain’t a bad person, but you certainly not acting like a good one.
In the future, please choose to be kind and curious, not judgemental.
