Web Paper III: Memory Consolidation and Efficiency as a Result of Sleep
The two topics that I have previously wrote on were sleep paralysis and the effect of depression on memory. After learning the fundamentals of memory and sleep, I now wish to learn more about how the two work together in memory retention and consolidation. This is especially relevant to my life as I often debate whether to stay up late and study or go to bed earlier and wake up and study. After researching this topic, sleep is important to the consolidation and effectiveness of memory.
