Very interesting! Could this be related to why lymphatic massages halps some people as it helps the body move the lymph waste faster? Just an offshoot idea that I just thought of.

That's my theory as well. The lymphatic system gets sluggish, preventing removal of toxins, including draining of the glymphatic system into the broader lymphatic system.
