Science Says Sleep Serves Up Solutions

The data are in!

A growing group of sleep researchers believe the
subconscious is a nighttime incubator. They say
while asleep, the brain is capable of feats it can not
match while awake.

Robert Stickgold, Ph.D., a cognitive neuroscientist
at Harvard Medical School studies the effects of
sleep on learning and memory.

In one study, Stickgold taught volunteers to perform
a task. Later, the researchers measured how quickly
the subjects completed the task. They found people
tested later the same day didn't improve. But when
they were allowed to sleep for at least 6 hours
between the training and testing, their scores shot
up by 15 percent.

What really surprised Stickgold though?

Participants continued to increase their scores over
the next 2 or 3 days without further practice or
training.

"It's clear a night of sleep changes the form of
memories so you can perform tasks faster and
more accurately," Stickgold says.

So you can now feel even more confident using your
imagination to practice shooting before you fall
asleep. The science is on your side.
