    Mine doesn’t :S

    I think there’s different levels of ‘thinking’ and activity. The brain is never completely inactive, except when dead.

    Nope, it never stops! That’s why it consumes so much oxygen and energy!!!

      Yep! Even when you’re asleep, your brain is still working away controlling your breathing and heart rate and some other stuff that we aren’t aware of. And then you are also dreaming and your brain is busy sorting through all your new memories!
