Memory Monday!

Ellie Zamora

DidΒ you know that sleep plays a critical role in learning?

A case study found in a National Geographic article states that, “If your brain is an email account, sleep- more specifically, a nap- is how to clear your inbox.” While sleeping, your short-term memory storage can move memories to the long-term cache which makes room for more thoughts and ideas to come into your brain.

So, if you have a big test coming up, or an important work meeting that will bring on lots of information, you might want to take a nap!
