Understanding the need for sleep to improve cognition
The restorative function of sleep is shaped by its duration, timing, continuity, subjective
quality, and efficiency. Current sleep recommendations specify only nocturnal duration and …

Splitting sleep between the night and a daytime nap reduces homeostatic sleep pressure and enhances long-term memory
Daytime naps have been linked with enhanced memory encoding and consolidation. It
remains unclear how a daily napping schedule impacts learning throughout the day, and …

Memory performance following napping in habitual and non-habitual nappers
Abstract Study Objectives Afternoon naps benefit memory but this may depend on whether
one is a habitual napper (HN;≥ 1 nap/week) or non-habitual napper (NN). Here, we …
