Sleep helps learning, memory

This is the title of an article posted yesterday by Harvard Health Publications. (http://health.harvard.edu/blog/sleep-helps-learning-memor...)

In this post by Dr. Harvey B. Simon, it states that sleep,even napping, can help when you are trying to learn or memorize something. Several recent studies show a connection between sleep and learning.

One study I was especially interested in states "dreaming may reactivate and reorganize recently learned material, which would help improve memory and boost performance."

So, why not try doing Skills Tutor before going to bed one night and see if you dream about it during your sleep. One student told me this week that she dreamed about the math she was working on during that day. I think this is terrific and hope others in the program have a similar experiece.
