5Reduce Memory Functions
Cognitive studies have shown that brain events are known as “sharp wave ripples” play a key role in consolidating our memories. In addition, those ripples can help transmit learned information from our hippocampus to the brain’s neocortex, where it stores long-term memories. They mostly occur during the deepest phases of sleep. Thus, a lack of sleep could have a negative effect on both long-term and short-term memory. For this reason, make sure to get enough sleep every night to keep your memory function always sharp and effective. [5]
