We've all been there - dosing off while studying for a big test,
but does sleeping after you learn help in every instance?
Sleeping after learning won't necessarily make you smarter, but it does help boost
memory and allow the brain to process information more efficiently. In 2008,
researchers in Germany asked participants to memorize a list of 30 words as part of a
study on sleep and learning. After some time spent memorizing the list, some of the
students were given a chance to nap while others were asked to stay awake. When
the students were quizzed on how many of the words they could remember from the
list, those who hadn't napped remembered fewer than seven words on average. Those
who slept for just six minutes remembered an average of eight words, while those who
napped for 36 minutes remembered nine or more. Not only did napping provide a
memory boost, but it only took a brief snooze to make a difference in recall [source:
Harvard Medical School] .
Another study conducted in 2010 suggests that napping not only gives you better
recall, but may allow you to pull together information in a way that can help you solve
problems. As part of the study, students were asked to navigate a complex maze, then
take a 90-minute nap. Those who reported dreaming about the maze while napping
actually did better than those who didn't dream of the maze when asked to navigate
the maze a second time. This indicates dreaming can organize and consolidate
information, making it more useful to you later. [source: Harvard Medical School]

Other research indicates that sleep not only restores the brain, but actually increases
your ability to learn. At the start of a 2010 study, a group of students were tested on
fact-based memories and all performed about the same. Half the group was then
asked to take a 100-minute nap, while the other half of the group stayed awake. When
the participants were tested again that evening, those who had napped actually
performed better than they had originally, while the students who hadn't napped
performed worse [source: Mander et al].
It's possible that the brain simply gets so full of information that it can't operate
effectively after an extended period without sleep. Scientists have discovered that
while you're awake, your brain stores memories in your hippocampus. After too long
without sleep, this part of the brain gets sluggish and overworked, leaving you less
equipped to learn or even function at your best [source: Anwar ]. When you sleep, the
brain transfers memories and information out of the hippocampus, depositing them in
the prefrontal cortex for long-term storage. With your short-term memory station free
and clear, your brain is better-equipped for learning and memory when you awaken.

I don't think so

What is wrong with you? How can you ask a question then immediately answer it yourself? .. Who fvckin does that?

And you think this is the most presentable way to demonstrate your frustration?

Then may be you should learn to communicate appropriately....Cos that poo you wrote up there is a mere display of ignorance and childlikeness....Peace!

Na. You simply made a mountain outta a mole hill. But it really isn't any of my business. However, I must apologize this one time.. Seeing that I'd given reason for offence.
But you still need to loosen up. Bye!
