"The results show that the sleep benefit for memory persists across the subsequent waking day, even when challenged by new information,"

Very interesting.

On this note, I better go to bed and get some sleep. :)

If I printed this up and gave it to my Wife with the friendly suggestion that it's the reason she shouldn't ask me anything while I'm sleeping, do you think I'd survive with all of my teeth?

I just skimmed the first part, but it was pretty interesting.

I am used to far more scientific psychobabble. I must not get enough sleep because I don't remember any of it.

Two men need to cross a field that has a bull in it. A sign on the fence says "This bull can run across this field in 10 seconds.

One says to the other...

Do you think you can run faster than that bull

To which the other says...

I don't have to run faster than the bull, I just have to run faster that you.

Well now this can be used to impose social policy.

Can nothing, it will. That's the whole point.

Would this explain why liberals can't remember recent history and keep making the same mistakes over and over again when dealing with dictators?

So what are liberals doing instead of sleeping?

That's a long ways off -- government planned diet and exercise for everyone will happen much sooner. ;) (only half kidding)

In addition...

IMO
Sleep disorders (probably caused by allergies) are the cause for the majority of alleged ADHD cases. Sleep deprived adults are irritable (go figure), short attention span (imagine that), etc, etc. Why would not the same apply to children?

Or, you *could* sleep 6 hours per night and take some folic acid supplements.
