    "US researchers have discovered taking a nap while studying works even better if you dream about what you are trying to learn."

    we should have a course on this.... if not, we can always practice in one of the classes...

    Students have now a valid excuse when it comes to napping in class :) I also woule say that we should ask for a room with beds at the Uni, as it would help students to learn better !! Blague à part, c'est souvent le cas quand je travaille longuement sur un papier juste avant d'aller me coucher, que je continue de rêver de cela, ce qui aide dans l'avancée de mon papier. Certaines personnes ont également relevé le fait qu'elles peuvent se réveiller en sursaut au milieu de la nuit car elles viennent en rêvant de découvrir la réponse aux questions qu'ils se posent dans leur travail.. comme quoi, il ne fallait plus que des chercheurs pour confirmer ce que l'on savait déjà!

    Je suis d'accord Cécile, mais c'est quand même très intéressant de voir qu'il ya des rechercheurs qui affirment qu'on doit dormir plus... :) car moi, j'utilize l'argument, mais personne me croit. :)

    interesting one. I have never crammed all night for an exam I think. I always try to get enough sleep and it certainly pays off. If I don't feel ready before I go to bed, I don't care, I value the sleep more. Interesting about the dreaming part, but I also know that when those things are floating around in your head, well that prevents me from sleeping. I wish I could dream about it.

    I defenitely agree with Lucas. According to me, many of us are not aware of how important getting enough sleep is for our learning and creativity. I know many people,who are saying that they are 'night-people' and prefer to study until late rather than getting up an hour early in the morning to finish work. My personal experience showed me that I am not only more creative but also faster in learning after sleeping. In a world, in which everything goes faster and faster we might need to give our brains even more time to rest than some hundred years ago. I can imagine that dreaming about the task while taking a nap helps to improve the learning after waking up. However, being able to switch off completely without 'thinking' about the task within the dream might help to even better relax.

    I have never experienced dreaming about what I am trying to learn while taking a nap. If it can really boost learning and creativity, I would really like to try it. But, it is something beyond my control. In spite of that, power napping is always good. I would like to share a link which shows ten benefits of power napping. Some benefits are, for example, improving memory and learning, boosting creativity and increasing cognitive functioning, etc. http://ririanproject.com/2007/09/05/10-benefits-of-power-napping-and-how-to-do-it/

    This young lady has a very interesting view of bounderies and how to go beyond them. She instigates us to take control of our lives and fight for our dreams. Bounderies can either stop us or challenge our imagination. Up to each one of us to decide!
