Benefits of Elevating Your Ankles While Sleeping

Elevating your ankles above the level of your chin while sleeping can enhance glymphatic clearance, which is crucial for brain health. This practice has shown potential benefits not only for individuals recovering from head injuries, such as concussions and traumatic brain injuries, but also for healthy individuals.

This elevation promotes better sleep quality and supports improved cognitive function upon waking.
