If you want to remember the information in this article, take a nap.



New research conducted by brain researcher Avi Karni of the University of Haifa in Israel explores the possibility that naps help lock in sometimes fleeting long-term memories. A 90-minute daytime snooze might help the most, the study finds.



"We still don't know the exact mechanism of the memory process that occurs during sleep, but the results of this research suggest it is possible to speed up memory consolidation," Karni said.



Long-term memory refers to memories that stay with us for years, such as "what" memories — a car accident that happened yesterday — or "how to" memories, such as one's learned ability to play the drums.

以色列海法大学脑部研究专家阿维?卡尼针开展的一项最新研究探讨了白天小睡有助于巩固长期记忆的可能性问题。研究发现，白天小睡90分钟对巩固记忆最有效。



卡尼说：“目前，我们还不清楚睡眠过程中记忆加工的具体机制，但研究结果表明白天小睡能够加速记忆的巩固。”

I have no idea whether a nap can consilidate the memory. What I can assure is that taking a nap is helpful to recover the energy. If you are tired and just take a nap. After you are awake, you will feel very comfortable.

can't agree more

I agree with it . every noon I must take a nap , or i can't insist to work in the afternoon . After the nap ,maybe only for half an hour , I will be active . I can go on working comfortably and efficiently .

i think it necessary to take a nap in the noon,but the time shouldn't be too long .Just 30~40 minutes is enough.i don't know whether the nap can consolidate the memory.but one thing is certain:if not ,we don't have enough energy in the afternoon's study.

read it

Taking a nap in noon is useful. But 90 minutes maybe is too long.

yeah, no scientific evidence prove the inference. we havenot had the clear clue of mechanisim of memory process yet. however, one undoubetly saying,which i have to emphasize is that taking nap in noon do has positive impact on enegetic recovering.

i got used to take a nap in noon, people in the southern of part of china usually get started to work at 2:30 pm. unluckly, when i come to work in the north,people here usually start to work 1:30 pm,even 1 am in some advanced city as bejing. i still dont adapt the schedule in beijing untill now.because i cant get enough relaxion and rest.

I'm taking nap everyday

In fact,taking a nap is medically superior in almost every way to the use of caffeine in fighting fatigue

it is a good idea, i don't have a nap everyday, so i can't have enoughenergy to work, i am tied. i need a nap at noon.i will do.

Remember a scholar said, every day to keep proper siesta enhance memory.I think so！

I try to have a nap every day at noon.If I can't,I feel dizzy all the afternoon.

It is necessary for us to take a nap everyday.then we can do our work better.

For obvious reasons, when a person is trying to learn something, he or she can learn better if he or she had a clearer mind which often is the result of having enough sleep.A nap can definitely help to pass the afternoon with a clearer mind.That goes without saying.

However, personally, I can't take a nap.If I did, I would most likely get a migraine in the afternoon.On top of that, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep easily at night when the time comes for me to go to bed at a normal time.

Basically, I think it does help with the process of learning; thus, it does help with memory.But this just doesn apply to me...

I dont know wheater have a nap good for your memory. but I believe it.

I want a nap today. but i have to work , what a pity..

I am agree.

a little age,Listens to my mother saying that midday rests, may raise the working
