I wonder if a 30-min nap improves the situation. But I need to tell the brain to hold the flushing until the nap.

There's controversy over exact mechanisms involved in glymphatic function, so suffice it to say that allegedly even just NSDR / yoga nidra will engage a rest deep enough for glymphatic function to engage/improve

I was disappointed the article didn’t mention that. Can you give me some pointers. I will use Google but HN curated content is often a better starting point. :)
