The Effect of Intensive Learning Sessions on Sleep
1:53:49 - 2:03:53 (10:04)
Our brain adapts to intensive learning sessions by increasing the amount of spindles during sleep, thus strengthening the memory trace. During non-REM sleep, the brain seems to etch the memory into the glass surface, scoring the memory trace even more powerfully.

Applying stimulation at the sleep spindle frequency range during non-REM sleep has been found to improve aspects of motor skill learning, including in airline pilots, musicians, and professional athletes.

Scientists have discovered that memories are etched into the brain when a person is in a non-REM sleep phase, by a process called “memory replay.” This process plays a critical role in strengthening and organizing memories to make them easier to recall later on.

Matt Walker found that during REM sleep, the rat brain replays memories, but not faster and with a different speed than during waking hours, which means that we can choose what to remember at night and even during dreams.
