According to scientists, the thought isnt as unbelievable as it seems.A study found going without sleep for just one night causes changes in the brain similar to those that happen after a blow to the head. The researchers said the healthy young men examined in the study showed a sudden rise in the same chemicals which indicate(表明) brain damage. Professor Christian Benedict, of Uppsala University, Sweden, explained that the chemicals NSE and S-100B are biomarkers(生物指标) for brain damage, such as concussion(脑震荡). He said, “What we found was their levels in the blood rose in the group that went without sleep for a night. This was not to the degree that would happen after a head injury, for example, but it was still worth paying attention to. During sleep, the brain cleans itself of poisonous substances.” He said the findings support the previous(以前的) research showing how the brain makes use of sleep to clean itself.Professor Benedict also said his study could support previous studies which linked a lack of sleep with increased risk of Alzheimers and Parkinsons diseases. The rise of the chemicals in the blood after sleep loss may suggest not getting enough sleep leads to a loss of brain tissue, he explained. Professor Benedict, whose study is published in the journal Sleep, added, “In conclusion, the findings of our trial indicate a good nights sleep may be very important for keeping brain health.”A third of the UK population suffer from sleep-related problems, while the average person now sleeps for only seven hours a night, compared with almost nine
