Preface
has a series of popular science tweets about sleep, which is the sum of the essence of the book "Why Should You Sleep". The wonderful thing about this book is to tell you what sleep means to us. Although there are still many studies on sleep in progress and many causal relationships have not been confirmed, it does not prevent us from deeply understanding the importance of sleep through these studies.

This tweet I want to tell everyone the positive/negative effects of sleep in the simplest and most crude way. I will display the research results in the book in bold form (forming key points) , and assist with relevant research in a timely manner. You can bookmark it and forward it so that more people can understand it.
3. Sleep while learning.
Sleep makes memories not disappear in the future.
Related research:
①. Sleep not only retains what you learned before going to bed, but also saves things that you seem to forget quickly after learning.
② and Methods to enhance sleep’s effect on improving memory: 1. Sleep stimulation: Improve the quality of deep sleep brain wave activities through electric shock stimulation; 2. Target memory reactivate: Review the learning content of the day before going to bed to strengthen the individual memories you want to keep.
4. Use sleep to forget specific memories.
The ability to forget is as important as memory. Its benefits not only in clearing out information inventory we don’t need, but also in allowing the brain to use less resources when extracting needed memories.
Related research:
①. Sleep is smarter than we imagined. It can distinguish which information needs to be strengthened and which information is not needed.
5. Improve sports performance.
As long as you sleep less than eight hours a night, especially less than six hours, the following conditions will occur: the time to reach exhaustion is reduced by 10% to 30%, and the aerobic capacity will also decrease significantly; similar damage to limb stretching and vertical jumps, and the highest peak and sustained strength of muscle strength will also decrease; impaired cardiovascular, metabolic, and respiratory abilities will drag down the body that is insufficient, including the accelerated accumulation of lactic acid, decreased blood oxygen saturation, and increased carbon dioxide in the blood, partly due to the decrease in the amount of air that the lungs can exhale.
The relationship between insufficient sleep and sports injury
Related research:
①. The last two hours of sleep are the feast stage of sleep spindles. This is the stage of effectively improving motor skills.
②. Sleep can alleviate the risk of injury.
③. Sleep after the competition will accelerate physiological recovery. For example, general inflammation, stimulating muscle repair, helping cells regain energy through glucose and liver sugar.
6. Sleeping with creativity.
Sleep provides a night theater in which your brain can test and build connections to store a large amount of information. This task uses a strange algorithm that tends to find the most distant and least obvious links, and goes the opposite of Google search.
Related research:
①. When sleeping and dreaming (rapid eye movement sleep stage), the brain will connect different knowledge (content material) to produce amazing creativity.
Conclusion
There are many benefits of sleep. We cannot be limited to sleep troubles and do not want to use it. I hope this tweet can bring inspiration and help to you, especially for students who are studying . Don’t choose to sacrifice sleep because of heavy learning tasks. After all, the guarantee of sleep is also the guarantee of learning efficiency.
Finally, remember to follow me.

"Sleep that kins up the ravell’d sleep of care,
The death of each day’s life, sore labour’s bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,
Chief nobler in life’s feast,—”
Sleep can untie the worries,
is the end of daily life, the bath soup for hard work and fatigue,
is the plaster for the damaged soul, the main dish of the great nature,
is the most nourishing feast in life...
is the most nourishing feast in life...
is the most nourishing feast in life...
