SLEEP IMPROVES YOUR MEMORY

If you want to remember what you learn, take a short sleep for the night right after learning it - that's the conclusion of a university study.
In the study, 40 college students were randomly divided into groups. Everyone was asked to memorize a series of nonsense syllables and a short story. Then some of the students had a short sleep, while the others watched a two-hour movie.
Afterward, they were given questions on what they remembered . The students who had a sleep performed much better than those who didn't, the study found.
Researches found that it didn't matter whether students had a sleep in the morning or in the afternoon - they still remembered more than the students who stayed awake.
Experts believe that having a sleep right after learning something helps you remember it because you have no other facts to interfere with what you've just learned.
So, if you are trying to remember information for a test the next morning, it's best to retire for the night immediately after studying. Don't stay up - go straight to bed.
By having a sleep immediately after learning new material, you are more likely to retain that information.
