A study shows that people may remember maths better if they learn it before bedtime. People usually think it's better to study in the morning, but scientists in the UK said that a good night's sleep helps remember things.
The study asked 184 adults to learn maths problems by heart. The scientists wanted to find how quickly each adult could remember the answers.
These adults first had to learn the answers before bed, between 8 p.m. and 10:45 p.m., and they had a test the next morning. A week later, the scientists asked them to learn answers when they woke up, between 7:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. The scientists tested them at the end of the day. In both tests, the adults had about 10 hours between learning the problems and taking the tests. The people who learnt maths problems before bed remembered them better, scoring (得分) 20.7 out of 28. The morning learners scored 18.5.
We all know that sleep can help remember things better, but most studies focus (聚焦) on how well people learn words. This study shows that the mind also helps remember numbers when we're asleep.
