referenceThe Memory Consolidation Theory posits that sleep is crucial for consolidating memories formed during wakefulness by actively processing and stabilizing newly acquired information during REM and slow-wave sleep (SWS) phases, transferring it from short-term to long-term memory stores, according to Sridhar et al. (2023).

accountA study examining the theory that sleep is important for information consolidation (solidifying information in long-term memory) tested 28 participants by having them learn 12 new words at either 10:00 am or 10:00 pm. The researchers hypothesized that participants learning at 10:00 pm would have better recollection because they were closer to sleep, but the study found no significant difference in recollection based on the time the words were learned.
