Professor: A recent study has produced some intriguing findings about the relationship between sleep and memory consolidation. Researchers had two groups of participants memorize a list of words. One group was allowed a 90-minute nap afterward, while the control group stayed awake. The results were clear: the group that napped demonstrated significantly better recall of the words hours later. This reinforces the theory that sleep, even a short nap, plays a crucial role in strengthening neural connections and locking in new information.
