Learning is most effective after studying. Many scientific research on learning agree with this idea. I agree with it too. Most memory consolidation happens during sleep. If you do some focused work before sleeping, you'll dream about it, which makes it stick. This has worked for me over and over again. It can work for you too. If you space out your study and revisions with periods of restful sleep, you'll learn faster and retain longer. Give it a try and experience its magic.

Early online access to my second publication is here! We engage in probabilistic reasoning for many real-world decision scenarios: from whether to invest in a speculative stock or whether to take that gap at a T-junction, to picking out clothes at a retail store that would give the biggest bang for your buck. This paper builds on the past work of Professors David Dickinson and Sean Drummond by investigating how chronic sleep restriction, a common occurrence in today's world, affects the way we rely on information during probabilistic reasoning. This paper forms part of my wider PhD thesis that seeks to dig deeper into the relationship between sleep and decision-making, investigating how Bayesian reasoning in particular may suffer when we don't get enough sleep. Big thanks to my fellow co-authors, mentors, and supervisors for all the help in getting this done. https://lnkd.in/gpdiQDvX

🌙✨ What an incredible event we had yesterday in collaboration with researchers from Murdoch University, Macquarie, Edith Cowan University, and the University of Sydney. Our collective goal was to explore the secrets of a restful night's sleep, and it was truly a thought-provoking discussion. Thanks to all who attended and participated! Here's a quick recap of some key takeaways: ✅ Good sleep is crucial for memory and learning. It helps us encode new information and store it in long-term memory, allowing easy retrieval and connection to other memories. 😴 In the short term, poor sleep can lead to excessive sleepiness, reduced attention, slower thinking, and cognitive inflexibility. It also impairs memory, judgment, problem-solving, and emotional processing, and is associated with depression and anxiety. 💡 For those experiencing sleep quality or quantity issues, or obstructive sleep apnea, there can be cardiovascular and brain vessel changes, as well as an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. 💪 Good sleep is now recognised as a protector of memory and cognitive skills. Improving our sleep routines may help delay the onset of dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. 🔍 While conclusive evidence is still being sought, Australian research is actively working to unravel the role of sleep in preventing cognitive decline. Stay tuned for more insights! A big thanks to our distinguished panel of experts and all the attendees for joining this insightful discussion. Let's prioritise our sleep for a healthier brain and a brighter future. 🌟 #SleepAndMemory #BrainHealth #CogSleepResearch #AlzheimersFoundation #AARF

Check out my thoughts on PBS News with Laura Barron-Lopez about “night owls” having better cognition relative to “morning” individuals and how getting 7-9 hours of sleep is related to better cognition than those who got less or more. Interesting findings but as I alluded to in my interview we should interpret the night owl results cautiously. It should be noted this was a cross-sectional study so we cannot interpret these results as causal. These were also subjective responses and may not be precise or accurate and only 8-9% of the sample identified as night owls so it may not be representative. Bottom line there are no one-size-fits-all approaches; I encourage you to know your self and body and see what works for you; ensure you get sufficient sleep (7-9 hrs); maximize quality sleep, and address any sleep disruptions or disorders. #sleephealth

Unlock Your Exam Potential: The Power of Sleep 🌟 With exams on the horizon, the significance of sleep cannot be overstated. Research consistently highlights sleep as a fundamental pillar of optimal cognitive function, critical for memory retention, concentration, and decision-making. 🌙 Key Insights: - Harvard University studies** show that a full night's sleep boosts memory and test performance. - The Sleep Foundation** finds a direct correlation between consistent sleep patterns and higher academic achievement. - Journal of Adolescent Health**: Lack of sleep is linked to increased psychological stress and poorer decision-making in students. 🔗 Dive deeper into effective exam preparation strategies and the science of sleep at [Newbee Publication Therapy Resources](https://lnkd.in/evEAKyxZ). #SleepImportance #ExamSuccess #StudentWellbeing #HealthyHabits

#ScienceSpotlight: Did you know that ecological and social pressures can affect sleep patterns in animals? Fascinating research on wild baboons shows that they sacrifice sleep when in unfamiliar locations and when sleeping in proximity to more group-mates, regardless of how long they had slept the prior night or how much they had physically exerted themselves the preceding day. This study highlights the importance of studying sleep in real-world contexts. Sleep is truly a complex and adaptive function reflecting evolutionary trade-offs.

Carla Marcela Barrantes Vasquez’s insightful blog on ‘How Bad Sleeping Habits Affect Decision-Making for Team Leaders’ was one of the prize winners in our Fall 2023 Best Research Blogs Contest sponsored by Generation1.ca and organized by Professor Arundati Dandapani, MLitt, CAIP, CIPP/C, CIPM for her students at Humber College! The article is now available to view here. The Silent Impact of Sleep Deprivation: In today’s fast-paced world, a full night’s rest can often seem like a luxury. For many team leaders, the demands of work and life make it challenging to get the recommended 7 hours of sleep. But what if this lack of sleep is silently affecting your decision-making abilities? Carla Barrantes’s blog delves into this less-understood aspect of sleep deprivation and its impact on our mental and physical well-being. Drawing from various studies, she highlights how sleep-deprived team leaders tend to take on greater risks, exhibit reduced effectiveness in assessing opportunities, and experience difficulties in forming interpersonal connections. Research Findings: One startling fact she shares is that having a bad night of sleep or consecutive nights of partial sleep is considered to have the same effect as being drunk (Enders et al., 2022). After two weeks of just five hours of sleep a night, you are as impaired as you would be if you had gone 36 hours straight without sleep. Insights from Studies: Carla cites a study carried out by the Laboratory of Sleep Psychophysiology and Cognitive Neurosciences, and the Department of Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences of the University of L’Aquila. The study found that Total Sleep Deprivation and Partial Sleep Deprivation increase the expectation of winning and attenuation of loss aversion (Salfi et al., 2020). Read the Full Blog: For more insights and to understand the full impact of sleep deprivation on decision-making, head over to our website and read Carla’s award-winning blog. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gX37sjqz #PrizeWinners #HumberCollege #Research #SleepDeprivation #BestBlogContest #CulturallySignificant #Generation1.ca
