While sleep rests and repairs the brain, it continues to be active and sleep psychologists believe one of the things it's doing is helping to consolidate memories. This short film looks at Professor Gaskell's research comparing participants who learn in the morning and are tested in the evening with those who learn in the evening and are tested in the morning after sleeping.
