Everyone knows that sleep is important for our health, but do you know that it can also help us learn a new language? A study found that brain activity during sleep can improve our memories.
In the study, 35 English speakers learnt a language called Mini Pinyin. 17 About half of those people learnt the language in the morning. They stayed awake and had a test later that day. The others learnt in the evening and then went to sleep in a lab. They were tested the next morning. 18
When we sleep, our brain goes through different phases (阶段). One of these is called REM sleep. 19 During this time, brain activity is very high and we often dream.
Another sleep phase is non-REM sleep, when brain activity is much lower. 20 This is due to (由于) two kinds of brain waves. They can move new information from the short-term memory part of the brain to the long-term memory part.
Scott Cousens worked on the study. He said the results showed sleep plays a key role in remembering complex information, such as a new language. 21 "Sleep is not just for us to have a rest. It's an important time for the brain to change and grow," he said.
So, if you want to improve your English skills, the secret might be going to bed!
A. But during this time, our brain organizes and saves new information.
B. The researchers found that the people who slept after learning remembered much more.
C. This language is based on Chinese, but it has similar grammar to that of English.
D. For example, it can help people learn a second language faster.
E. It usually first happens about 90 minutes after we fall asleep.
F. He believed that sleep was very active and useful for our brain.
