Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation from "summary" of How We Learn by Benedict Carey
In the period following a new experience, the brain works to solidify the memory, a process known as consolidation. During this phase, the neural connections that formed during the initial learning are reinforced, and the memory becomes more stable and resistant to interference. Neuroscientists have discovered that sleep plays a critical role in this memory consolidation process.
Research has shown that sleep helps to strengthen memories by reactivating and reorganizing the information that was encoded during wakefulness. While we sleep, our brains cycle through different stages, including slow-wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Each stage plays a unique role in memory consolidation.
During SWS, the brain ...
