     * there appears to be a 90% reduction in glymphatic clearance during wakefulness, and twice the amount of protein clearance from the brain intima during sleep - and it appears that **the majority of glymphatic clearance activity occurs during N3 sleep which occurs in non-REM deep sleep** and glymphatic transport is most efficient in the right lateral sleeping position, with more CSF clearance occurring compared to supine and prone.
