the rehearsal for death your body throws nightly, then forgets by morning.
means To sleep, especially in a light, peaceful, or drowsy way.
from From Middle English slumeren, an extension of older slumen 'to doze,' rooted in Old English sluma 'light sleep.' It belongs to a sleepy Germanic family — a cousin of Dutch sluimeren and German schlummern — and the intrusive 'b' crept in over time, the same way 'thunor' became 'thunder,' the tongue slipping a consonant into the gap between sounds.
paralysisYour body paralyzes itself nightly so you don't act out dreams.
brain washSleep flushes brain toxins through cerebrospinal fluid drainage.
two halvesDolphins sleep one brain hemisphere at a time.
giraffe dealGiraffes survive on roughly thirty minutes nightly.
deprivationStaying awake eleven days is the record, brutally.
