The Role of Deep Sleep in Memory Consolidation
1:46:19 - 1:53:49 (07:30)
Deep non-REM sleep plays an important role in memory consolidation as it transfers memories from a vulnerable short-term storage to a more permanent long-term storage site within the brain through a combination of sleep spindles and slow waves. This process occurs during increased sleep drive, such as when a person is sick or during exam periods, and can enhance memory retention.
