People say that muscles only grow if you let them rest. Working out 3 times a week proves to be better than 7 due to lil. time to heal . What if the brain works the same. We really don't know so much about the brain. I'm saying that people go to school 5 times a week, constant work on the mind that it has no time to recover or build up knowledge. Maybe thats why we people have only been using 1/10 of their brains. Has anyone tested a real hard mental workout 3 times a week (possibly doing calculus since it requires a lot of thought ranging to timed puzzles throughout a 15 hr perioud) then completly shut down to relaxing and nothing else for a day or 2 then back to hard core mental workout. This would of course have to go for at least a few weeks to see result, (IQ) increase or whatever. I work out a lot and also noticed that there are millions of patturns/relations in nature, why not this one too. Just randomly thinking while stuggling on a calc 2 problem and had to type this up

That's what sleep is for. Numerous studies show that activity flares & subsides in various areas of the brain during sleep indicating that the brain rests also. Plus there have been quite a few studies done regarding sleep deprivation & how the body & mind react.

the brain is always building brain cells whether u burn them out
or not.
mental knowledge helps the mind and keeps u from losing memory when u get old.
U can get mental burnt out and need to rest (stress)
B12 and blueberries help the brain

You're pretty smart, but your grammar is facing retardation. I'll give your question some thought.
