Protects and heals the gut mucosa, likely by stabilizing growth hormone receptors in enterocytes and enhancing cellular repair mechanisms
During deep sleep: Growth hormone secretion peaks, driving tissue repair and muscle recovery The brains glymphatic system clears metabolic waste products, including proteins associated with neurodegeneration Cortisol levels reach their daily minimum, allowing the adrenal system to reset Immune function regenerates Cellular repair mechanisms run at maximum efficiency Most adults spend less time in deep sleep than optimal, and this deficit increases with age, stress, alcohol consumption, and certain medications
It is not just the vagus nerve
Finally, we speculate about one of the hottest questions in epigenetics today: what might be the role of dynamic DNA methylation in neurogenesis and how might it be regulated
