It has been confirmed by experts that getting enough sleep is an important part of a person’s overall health. Poor sleep is a risk factor for cognitive issues such as memory loss. There is a lot of evidence showing sleep’s crucial role in memory consolidation, and may help scientists come up with preventive strategies against dementia.

It is believed that the organ that needs sleep the most is the brain. Sleep disconnects the brain from the outside world. The stream of sensory information is stopped. This allows for the replay of past experiences without ‘outside interference’ which is necessary to consolidate the memories of these experiences—i.e., move them into the long-term memory,” he said.
