Brain boot process! This is really Cool
For those who know me, and for those who have already talked with me about this subject. They know I really do believe on this, and more…”our brain IS in fact a computer, but much better than the computers we have in our desk!”
“*Livescience*”:http://www.livescient.com as published an article about this. “*Your Brain boots like a computer*”:http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/060817_brain_boot.html.
“…
In these first moments of the day, sensory information floods the system—the bright sunlight coming through the curtains, the time on the screeching alarm clock—and all of it needs to be processed and organized, so the brain can understand its surroundings and begin to perform more complex tasks.
“The thinking part of the brain is applying a sort of stencil to the information coming in and what the nitric oxide is doing is allowing more refinement of that stencil,” says Dwayne Godwin, an associate professor at Wake Forest University and lead author of the study, which was funded by the National Eye Institute…”
…the other interesting thing (and this I have tested myself), is about the opposite process, the “init proccess of sleep”,
or “the nightly shutdown of our brain” as you wish 
.
During the day, our brain activity is very high as we process every peace of information around us, so our brain gets tired and needs to rest. At this moment I will speak about the topic. “shutingdown our brain properly”.
When going to be, I think we need to slow down the speed of our central processor unit, our brain activity, as computers do when we command them to go offline, shutting down every process, every program and saving all open documents. This is like cleaning up your desk after a hard work day. If you do this, next day in the morning you will like to see everything well organized, in your desk, in your computer and in your head and will be much easy to start working again, step by step, without needing to repair the mess of the last day.
how can you achieve this!? Well you need to follow a simple plan, “The Going to bed Ritual”.
Every day, after work I have classes almost until 23:30, so I need to be quick when it comes to eat, study and going to bed, but even with my speed, I only go to bed at 2:30am or so. My ritual steps are:
* Stop smoking for about 2 hours before going to bed;
* Don’t drink Coca-Cola or drinks with caffeine for 2 hours too;
* Turn off the laptop and stop doing job/study things on it;
At this time, I go to bed and;
* Drink a green tea or other “light” tea anti-stess;
* Read one or two chapters of an random book or article;
* Practice meditation for about 10min;
* Turn of the light.
Next morning I am ready to rock! 
Just give it a try, you will lose anything and maybe you feel better and think faster!
