Sleep sharpens power to recall memories, study finds

Sleep almost doubles chances of remembering previously forgotten information, according to new research

Sleep almost doubles the chances of remembering previously forgotten information, scientists found. They believe it makes memories more accessible and sharpens our powers of recall.
