New research has indicated that students who sacrifice sleep in order to cram for exams may be doing more harm than good. The study, which explores the link between sleep and memory, was recently published by scientists at Harvard Medical School.
According to their findings, people who deprive themselves of sleep so that they can study until the last minute are unlikely to remember anything that would improve their performance, while suffering the crippling effects of fatigue. The research indicates that the brain requires good-quality sleep after practicing a task to effectively learn and improve at it. Those who substitute study for sleep, particularly those who miss deep or "slow-wave" sleep will get little benefit from their extra effort.
The results, which have been published in the scientific journal Nature Neuroscience, support the growing body of evidence suggesting that sleep is crucial to the learning process. Professor Stickgold, who led the study, suggests that a good night's sleep immediately after learning is essential for embedding new skills in the memory. He explains that the first night's sleep is crucial in the process of memory consolidation, adding that memories may not be retained unless they are "nailed down" by certain processes. Based on the findings, it seems that sleep is one such process that plays a crucial role in solidifying new information in the memory.

Nghiên cứu mới đã chỉ ra rằng những sinh viên hy sinh giấc ngủ để ôn thi có thể gây hại nhiều hơn lợi. Nghiên cứu khám phá ra mối liên hệ giữa giấc ngủ và trí nhớ, được các nhà khoa học tại Trường Y Harvard công bố gần đây.
Theo phát hiện của họ, những người tự tước đi giấc ngủ để có thể học cho đến phút cuối cùng sẽ không thể nhớ bất cứ điều gì có thể cải thiện hiệu suất của họ, đồng thời chịu tác động tê liệt của sự mệt mỏi. Nghiên cứu chỉ ra rằng bộ não cần có giấc ngủ ngon sau khi học hỏi và cải thiện hiệu quả. Những người thay thế giấc ngủ bằng việc học, đặc biệt là những người bỏ lỡ giấc ngủ sâu hoặc "sóng chậm" sẽ nhận được rất ít lợi ích từ nỗ lực thêm đó của họ.
Các kết quả đã được công bố trên tạp chí khoa học Nature Neuroscience, ủng hộ bằng chứng ngày càng nhiều cho thấy giấc ngủ rất quan trọng đối với quá trình học tập. Giáo sư Stickgold, người đứng đầu cuộc nghiên cứu, cho rằng một giấc ngủ ngon ngay sau khi học là điều cần thiết để ghi nhớ những kỹ năng mới. Ông giải thích rằng giấc ngủ đêm đầu tiên rất quan trọng trong quá trình củng cố trí nhớ, đồng thời nói thêm rằng ký ức có thể không được giữ lại trừ khi chúng được "đóng đinh" bởi một số quy trình nhất định. Dựa trên những phát hiện này, có vẻ như giấc ngủ là một trong những quá trình đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc củng cố thông tin mới trong bộ nhớ.
