Afternoon Nap Might Make You Smarter
Afternoon Nap Might Make You Smarter
Snoozing refreshes the brain's capacity to learn, study finds

SUNDAY, Feb. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Want to ace that next test? Try taking
a mid-afternoon siesta.
While the findings are preliminary, new research raises the prospect that
sleep, specifically a lengthy afternoon nap, prepares the brain to
remember things. Think of it as similar to rebooting a computer to get it
to work more smoothly.
"Sleep is not just for the body. It's very much for the brain," said study
author Matthew Walker, an assistant professor at the University of
California at Berkeley.
Walker and colleagues divided 39 young adults into two groups. At noon,
all the participants took part in a memory exercise that required them to
remember faces and link them with names. Then the researchers took part in
another memory exercise at 6 p.m., after 20 had napped for 100 minutes
during the break.
Those who remained awake performed about 10 percent worse on the tests
than those who napped, Walker said.
There's one more twist: People's ability to learn declines about 10
percent between noon and 6 p.m. normally, but the nappers were able to
negate that decline.
