Inconsistent sleep can lead to forgotten memories


According to sciencenews.org , a new study has been done which shows that broken up sleep can lead to forgotten memories. The study was done on mice. Their normal amount of sleep was broken up into one minute intervals. This broken up sleep led to them forgetting where toys were or even what the toys were in the first place.

This case study shows just how important sleep really is. Many people don't realize just how gravely our bodies need sleep. Memories are one of the most important things in life and without sleep, memories may not be attainable.
