How to Learn While You Sleep

The video debunks the myth of learning new information during sleep, explaining that while you can't learn new things, you can enhance memory recall of what you've already studied. Sleep plays a crucial role in memory consolidation, where the brain strengthens connections between neurons. Studies show that cues like odors and sounds can boost this process. For instance, associating a smell or sound with learned information can improve recall. This technique has been tested in various studies, including those involving language learning, showing that cues can enhance memory retention.
