Sleeping assists memory

When you sleep your memory improves, a new study shows.
"But what makes this study different is that it didn't look at procedural memory, such as learning a new task, but instead looked at "declarative memory" or the memory you use to recall events, dates, and facts. What researchers found was that sleeping -- whether disrupted or not -- appeared to strengthen this kind of memory. Those who slept recalled information better than those who were asked to recall it before they went to sleep. This research just adds to the stockpile of information out there that urges students and anyone in an educational setting to get good rest to improve their performance"

The importance of sleep is emphasised, so those who think they can get away without it, think again.
Unless, of course, you don't care how your brain works and any deficiencies you may be creating for your memory.
Let me know what your thoughts on this and sleep are. It is an important topic. It causes a lot of concern for a lot of people and the young are not exempt.
