Might be a good way to learn a new language.
There has been a time in everyone’s life where we’ve had the idea that everything would be so much easier if we could just learn new information while we slept, probably when they’ve been up late into the night studying for final exams.
Now, new research was published last week in the journal Current Biology from researchers at the University of Bern, Switzerland show how we can understand and retain foreign language vocabulary during specific periods of sleep, as well as unconsciously recall the relationships between the foreign word and the translation presented to us while we are sleeping.
Their theory states that the sleeping brain was much more aware of the outside world than people were acknowledging.
