Sleep and Wakefulness Research

An extensive body of research demonstrates the rich relationship between sleep and memory. This chapter reviews evidence that sleep involves a highly active collection of brain states with unique properties that support the acquisition and consolidation of learned information. We discuss the impact of both nocturnal and daytime sleep, as well as the lack of sleep, on memory formation, focusing primarily on episodic memories. Beyond this, we consider the role of sleep in the transformation of memory, including the selective consolidation of elements of our experience that are most important to remember and the flexible recombination of that information, which better serves us in the future.
