Comment on Sleep does not help brain wash out toxins, study suggests

  I think you might be onto something. There’s been so many times where I’ve had a technical issue I can’t resolve, and sleeping on it results in an answer in the morning. Or often even a Eureka moment in the middle of the night. I’m certain that sleep helps you dredge up missing connections between ideas.

    I used to really feel this when. I was younger. Sometimes I would wake up and be able to do the thing I was trying to do yesterday but couldn’t.

    It does.

    Memories seem to become more stable in the brain during the deep stages of sleep. After that, REM—the most active stage of sleep—seems to play a role in linking together related memories, sometimes in unexpected ways. That’s why a full night of sleep may help with problem-solving. REM sleep also helps you process emotional memories, which can reduce the intensity of emotions.
