Sleep deprivation can change the way you see the people and situations around you. When you're running on too little sleep, things that normally wouldn't bother you can suddenly become intolerable.
Getting enough sleep won't solve all your problems, but it might change how you experience them.

Take the stairs.
Brush your teeth with your other hand.
Drive home a different way.
Memorize a verse instead of scrolling.
Small interruptions show your brain the old wiring isn't the only option.
That's how you leverage #neuroplasticity to build a more resilient brain. #selfbrainsurgery

Cognitive training for #epilepsy doesn't have to be intense. Reading, puzzles, traveling a new street, or listening to music can stimulate neural pathways without causing unnecessary fatigue or stress. -- How are you going to train on #TrainYourBrainDay? #EpilepsyAwareness

It began like something small. A headache. A fever. The kind of interruption you assume will pass. #MyBrokenMind #encephalitis #epilepsy #braindamage #scars @encephalitis411 @NeuroscienceNew @AOEpilepsy @DougBeacham

When was the last time you went to a conference in which a small church was celebrated for the great work they’re doing? Most of us have never seen it. This is a massive oversight that must change.

Scar tissue collected in my #brain, the result of the #encephalitis destroying the brain cells. That meant #epilepsy, a #neurological disorder marked by #episodes of sensory disturbance, became part of my life.

The answer must be, I think, that beauty and grace are performed whether or not we will or sense them. The least we can do is try to be there.
