Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Declarative memories, or memories of events and facts, are consolidated during non-REM sleep. Specifically, the slow-wave sleep stage (also known as NREM stage 3) has been shown to be particularly important for consolidating declarative memories. REM sleep, on the other hand, is believed to be more important for procedural memories and emotional regulation. Interrupted sleep can disrupt the consolidation of memories, while uninterrupted sleep allows for optimal memory consolidation.
