Mattress Vancouver

Finding it hard to get your head around a certain concept? Struggling to increase your memorizations skills for that Anatomy exam? Need a break from studying, but afraid you will lose the last three hours of cramming?

Simmons Mattress Gallery has news for you: napping can seriously increase your memory recall and cognitive understanding.

Go Ahead. Take a Nap. It Could Help Your Learning

This is the finding of a recent study published in Current Biology. The study found that students, who were given a complex map to study, were better equipped to find their way through the three-dimensional maze if they took a short nap and were able to dream about the material in question.

The students who were not given a nap, or who napped in a dreamless state, preformed at a lower standard then those who visualized the map in their slumber.

One of the head researchers, Robert Stickgold, claimed, “dreams are a marker that the brain is working on the same problem at many levels.”

During our waking life, it is highly possible that there may be too many distractions for our brain to focus on complex problems.

In our sleep, our brains are able to discard or put aside the material in our lives that is of little significance. Our subconscious is then able to grapple with the issues our conscious mind found to be vexing.

Stickgold also went as far as suggesting students to study hard just before they go to sleep at night or before a quick afternoon nap.

So the next time your mother or roommate gives you grief for napping with your books open, tell them you are just trying to get some help from your subconscious.

You might also want to recommend, that to improve your overall learning, they may want to help you purchase a new mattress. This will provide the most suitable setting for undisturbed forays into the educational dream realm.

Good luck with the last week of exams!
