How does lack of rest cause hallucinations?

279 viewsBiologyOther

I get lack of memory, because the electric charges that build up can be transferred to long term storage during rest, so being offline helps that process. But how is it that a lack of rest leads to haywire perceptions and phantom surges of electricity by sense neurons/nerve clusters?

It’s most likely from a build up of toxins. The body also produces toxins and expels them through urinating or defecating. The brain does a similar thing through using blood vessels. The exact process is unknown because to truly study it would mean opening up a live human brain which is incredibly unethical.
