Researchers have found that information learned shortly before sleep is often remembered better than information learned earlier in the day. During sleep, the brain helps organize and strengthen new memories.
This is one reason many students review important notes before going to bed. While sleep doesn't replace studying, it plays an important role in memory. A good night's rest helps your brain process what you've learned. Sleeping may be one of the easiest ways to support your memory.
