I read this: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/sleep-may-trigger-rhythmic-power-washing-brain

Every 20 seconds, a wave of fresh cerebrospinal fluid rolls into the sleeping brain. These slow, rhythmic blasts, described for the first time in the Nov. 1 Science, may help explain why sleep is so important for brain health.​

and found myself wondering if the amplified jet of blood from my mechanical valve (that I hear so well) strengthened by that bit of extender pipe (aortic graft) will stand me in good stead?
