Study Shows How Sleep Improves Memory


Sleep and Memory

A good night's sleep triggers changes in the brain that help to improve memory, according to a new study led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC).
These findings, reported in the June 30 issue of the journal Neuroscience and currently published on-line, might help to explain why children, infants, in particular, require much more sleep than adults, and also suggest a role for sleep in the rehabilitation of stroke patients and other individuals who have suffered brain injuries.
