Professor: A recent study in cognitive psychology produced interesting results regarding memory and sleep. Researchers found that subjects who studied material right before sleeping, and then got eight hours of rest, demonstrated significantly better recall than subjects who studied in the morning and were tested the same day. This suggests that the brain uses sleep to consolidate memories. The implication for you as students is that last-minute cramming is less effective than studying and then getting a good night's sleep.
