Professor: In our last class, we discussed the importance of sleep for memory consolidation. Today, I want to highlight a recent study that adds a fascinating layer to this. Researchers found that not just any sleep helps, but that deep sleep, specifically, plays a critical role. In the experiment, the group that got more deep sleep was significantly better at remembering newly learned vocabulary words the next day. This implies that the quality of sleep, not just the quantity, is what truly matters for learning. So, cramming all night before an exam is likely counterproductive.
