Summary

This is something I've always known to be true from personal experience, and now the science is proving it to be true: your brain consolidates and organizes information when you sleep. In other words, you "learn" when you're sleeping, and the deeper your sleep, the better you learn.

The way to take advantage of this is to expose yourself to new sensory information through experience during the day -- such as photoreading a new book or practicing a new physical skill -- then allow yourself at least eight hours of deep sleep. When you wake up, your brain will have organized the information, giving you a new of understanding of what you experienced the day before.

The human brain is, no doubt, absolutely astounding!

Details

  • - If you want to pass an exam, be sure to get some good sleep before-hand.

    - Because in sleep the brain processes and consolidates newly learnt matter.

    - Like football fans raising their hands in unison during a Mexican wave, millions of individual brain cells respond simultaneously with an electric signal.

    - They thus generate the regular, low-frequency brain waves that are characteristic of deep sleep.

    - Slow brain waves appear to consolidate and reinforce freshly learnt matter, explains Reto Huber, who conducted the study at the University of Wisconsin laboratory of Giulio Tononi in Madison, USA.

    - The subjects first had to accomplish a learning test on a computer.
