This one is straight out of a horror movie: when you’re really sleep-deprived, your brain starts breaking down and eating its own cells. It’s a process called "astrocyte activity," where it cleans up old or damaged cells but goes into overdrive without sleep. Like, imagine your brain snacking on itself because you pulled an all-nighter. Sleep is officially terrifying now. Anyone else freaked out?
