The study also found the sooner sleep followed a learning experience the longer the memory lasted — even for a mater of months. The study suggests memory improves if learning experiences are staggered across time.
Lead study author Jessica Payne of Harvard Medical School in Boston said...

Our deliberation wasn’t as set as I thought it would be, for the longest it seemed we were 11 - not guilty, 1 - guilty. Through discussion and around the table opinions however, eventually everyone came to terms with the facts. As it stood, we all had reasonable doubt regarding the situation and the conditions at hand, too much so, and that meant there wasn’t...
