Please let us know about your own experiences on this subject.

Sleep is now recognized as being critical for learning and memory, and now a new study into fruit flies offers clues as to why. From their research, scientists have identified three specific genes critical to the sleep-learning connection. One of these genes is the fly equivalent of a specific gene in humans linked to learning and memory, known as the serum response factor.

So, if you want to learn something new, do as the fruit fly does, get a good night’s sleep!
