The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
So if we want to engage neuroplasticity and we want to get the most out of our nervous system we each have to master both the transition between wakefulness and sleep and the transition between sleep and wakefulness.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

sleep at night, I should say, sufficient duration and quality of sleep at night is the way in which you engage neuroplasticity, the reordering of neural connections, and everything we've been talking about today about reordering of the maps in your mind.
neuroplasticity and optimizing your brain rides on a deeper Foundation of this thing that governs plasticity and in fact governs all our life called autonomic arousal which is that we're asleep for part of the 24-hour cycle and we are awake almost always
