Memory Tool?

Now that it is time to continue my training (physical body has recovered 80%) I am going to focus Qigong/Yiquan and the study of history next. To that end, I will study after lunch and then take a nap. Scientific evidence follows, experience will tell. :)


To Learn Better, Sleep On It, a Scientific American podcast, notes follow.

Naps help move new info from short-term memory storage in the hippocampus to long-term storage in the cortex.


...two groups of adults who went through rigorous memory exercises. Then one group took a 90-minute snooze. In follow up tests, the nappers performed even better than their first tries. The nonnappers got worse.
