Nowadays if you are fretting about loss of memory, blame it on lack of proper sleep which is affecting your health.Reason being that sleep sorts out several experiences of everyday encounters and thus boost your memory.
This happens because brain retains only important information in memory pockets and replay day’s activities at fast-forward speed during sleep.
The key result is that sleep replay strengthens the microscopic connections between nerve cells that are active -- a process deemed critical for consolidating memories.
According to lead researcher Jack Mellor from University of Bristol, "These findings are about the fundamental processes that occur in the brain during the consolidation of memory during sleep."
The new discoveries provide further evidence for the benefits of a good night's sleep.
