From a study led Dr.Mathew Walker at AAAS conference in San Diego, USA, revealed that a nap can improve the brain's ability to absorb information baru.Hal prove this through research done at the University of California at Berkeley, USA. The ilmuwwan oarang involving 39 healthy adults, who may impose sleep for 90 minutes at noon.
In the experiments, before nap, 39 volunteers given the task of writing in the morning. The results showed that people who nap have a cognitive test results better than those who stay awake or not to nap.
When the re-test, people who nap are still outperformed those who did not nap. Through the examination of brain electrical activity, found that this process may occur in the phase of sleep, between sleeping and dreaming sleep that called tahap2 nonrapid eye movement sleep.Dalam phases, moving from fact-based memory "temporary memory storage" in the hippocamus daaerah brain, to another area, called pre-frontal cortex.
Several studies in the science of sleep the last few years failed to show convincing evidence, in assessing the effect of "nap". But with this latest research, proven brain may need sleep for short-term memory process, creating "space" for new facts that must be in the study.
"Information received by the brain is like a full hippocamus email.Saat with email, sleep will move it and do not receive an email lain.Email will be on shift or move them to another folder, so that can be recalled through the memory system" said Dr.Mathew
