Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

A reader asked what the brain does when we sleep and that question led me to find out the latest news…

According to  Robert Roy Britt who is the LiveScience managing editor...

“Your brain never stops working. But it does cease talking to itself when you lose consciousness…”  Britt quotes  what a new study shows.

Like the reader at Brain Based Business,  it seems that scientists too ... have long wondered what the brain does and doesn't do during deep sleep.

It remains active, they already knew. But how so…?  

Britt described it this way…”When we're awake, different parts of the brain use chemicals and nerve cells to communicate constantly across the entire network, similar to the perpetual flow of data between all the different computers, routers and servers that make up the Internet.”

In your deeper REM sleep however all the connections appear to be lost – some see  this as the brain rewiring itself…

"The brain breaks down into little islands that can't talk to one another," said study leader Giulio Tononi of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The process described here would allow the mistakes of yesterday to rewire into new stepping stones for tomorrow…. What would it take to help your brain to rewire with your success in mind…? Any thoughts?
