While the functions of sleep remain largely unknown, one exciting hypothesis is that sleep
contributes importantly to processes of memory and brain plasticity. Over the last decade, a�…

A wealth of recent studies support a function of sleep on memory and cognitive processing.
At a physiological level, sleep supports memory in a number of ways including neural replay�…

Although both nonscientists and scientists alike have long promoted the idea that sleep is
beneficial to memory, recent work has shown that the effects of sleep on memory are�…
