Recently a team of researchers from Berkley university have come up with an interesting finding,from the studies conducted in 39 healthy volunteers that a short nap during day time not only beats tiredness but also boosts the learning power of the brain.This is rather an interesting finding.
According to the researchers,during a short nap the brain moves the fact based memories from the temporary storage in the brain's hippocampus to prefrontal cortex.This process occurs during a transition phase between deep sleep and dreaming sleep.This phase is scientifically called as stage 2 non rapid eye movement sleep.
This process makes the hippocampus afresh to accomodate new information just as like in an email inbox.
But the finding has got its own drawbacks too.It was a trail conducted in a laboratory under optimal conditions.In the real world there will be numerous factors which will hamper the expected results.
