💡 Trivia People Can Become Better at a Skill During a Break

[Beatriz9]

Practice isn't the only time learning happens. Research on offline learning shows that performance on certain tasks can improve after periods of rest or sleep, even without additional practice. The brain continues stabilizing and reorganizing newly learned information after training stops.

This is one reason nonstop practice isn't always the fastest route to improvement. Rest can be part of learning rather than time away from it. Sometimes, progress happens while nothing appears to be happening.
