TCUP - The Collective Unconsciousness Project. Sleep Problem, Sleeping Problems, Sleep Aids | Sleep better in just 25 minutes - Speed Sleep® Memory formation. BEFORE a big exam, a sound night's sleep will do you more good than poring over your textbooks. That, at least, is the folk wisdom. And science, in the form of behavioural psychology, supports that wisdom. But such behavioural studies cannot distinguish between two competing theories of why sleep is good for the memory. One says that sleep is when permanent memories form. The other says that they are actually formed during the day, but then “edited” at night, to flush away what is redundant. To tell the difference, it is necessary to peer into the brain of a sleeping person, and that is hard. The particular stage of sleep in which the Belgian group is interested is rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, when brain and body are active, heart rate and blood pressure increase, the eyes flick back and forth behind the eyelids as if watching a movie, and brainwave traces resemble those of wakefulness.
