What really happens in your brain when you don’t sleep enough?
Our new study in Nature Neuroscience reveals that when you’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.

Attentional failures during wakefulness after sleep deprivation are tightly orchestrated in a series of brain–body changes, including neuronal shifts, pupil constriction and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow pulsations

Attentional failures after sleep deprivation are locked to joint neurovascular, pupil and cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics - Nature Neuroscience
Yang et al. show that moments of failed attention we experience after sleep deprivation reflect brief ‘sleep-like’ episodes in the brain, corresponding to a brain- and body-wide event with altered bra...

New research shows attention lapses due to sleep deprivation coincide with a flushing of fluid from the brain — a process that normally occurs during sleep. news.mit.edu/2025/your-br...
This is your brain without sleep
An MIT study reveals what happens in the brain as lapses of attention occur following sleep deprivation. During these lapses, a wave of cerebrospinal fluid flows out of the brain — a process that typi...

🥱Why does sleep deprivation have negative effects on behavior?
We demonstrate that attentional failures caused by SD are coupled to large-scale brain fluid transport.
