Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of health, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

Researchers at Harvard Medical School's Center for Sleep and Cognition show that sleep may be critical to memory, the article reported.

The article explained 'Past studies have shown that people's non-declarative memories, also known as 'how to' memories, benefit from getting enough sleep, but the effect on declarative memories was unknown. Declarative memories are the memories of facts and events.'

Researchers concluded that sleep is 'imperative to the creation and preservation of memories', the article stated.

The article said that scientists also believe 'sleep is particularly important to people with mentally demanding lives, such as doctors and college students.'

The study was published in the 11 July issue of Current BiologyEvery day Global Good News documents the rise of a better quality of life dawning in the world and highlights the need for introducing Natural Law based—Total Knowledge based—programmes to bring the support of Nature to every individual, raise the quality of life of every society, and create a lasting state of world peace.
