Some waste products are known to cause neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer&#8217;s and Parkinson&#8217;s. So, if you sleep on your side, the waste removal is improved and thus the risk of Alzheimer\u2019s reduced?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s known that sleep plays an important role in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer&#8217;s. Previous studies showed that waste removal works better during sleep and that poor sleep is linked to dementia. Now we could have a clue why.<\/p>\n<h2>How does the brain get rid of waste?<\/h2>\n<p>The brain is surrounded by a liquid called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In this liquid waste products like \u201camyloid \u03b2 (A\u03b2)\u201d \u2013 causing Alzheimer\u2019s \u2013 could be found. A system called \u201cglymphatic pathway\u201d filters the liquid and clears it from waste. The waste is transported in the blood system.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;16282&#8243; border_color=&#8221;grey&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Why does it work better during sleep?<\/h2>\n<p>During sleep the space between brain cells expands, resulting in faster waste removal.<\/p>\n<h2>Why does it work better if I sleep on the side?<\/h2>\n<p>Researches at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jneurosci.org\/content\/35\/31\/11034.short\" target=\"_blank\">Stony Brook University, NY <\/a>anesthetized rodents&#8217; and inserted a tracer in the CSF. Then they watched the tracer removal in 3 different sleep positions &#8211; lateral (side), prone (down), and supine (up) &#8211; using MRI techniques.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The analysis showed us consistently that glymphatic transport was most efficient in the lateral position when compared to the supine or prone positions,&#8221; said Dr. Benveniste.<\/p>\n<h2>What does it mean for you?<\/h2>\n<p>Most probably you are well off because the lateral position is the most common sleeping position in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is interesting that the lateral sleep position is already the most popular in human and most animals &#8212; even in the wild &#8212; and it appears that we have adapted the lateral sleep position to most efficiently clear our brain of the metabolic waste products that built up while we are awake,&#8221; says Dr. Nedergaard<\/p>\n<p>However, the study was a rodent study.
