Sleep Necessary for Memories
Burning the midnight oil before an exam or interview does harm to the performance according to a recent research which found that sleep is necessary for memories to be taken back into the brain.A good night's sleep within 30 hours of trying to remember a new task is a required condition of having good recall in the weeks ahead。scientists}lave found.
The research,published in the December issue of Nature Neuroscience.Showed that it was the act of sleep.rather than the simple passage of time,that was critical for long-term memory formation.
"We think that getting that first night's sleep starts the process of minify consolidation(巩固),"said Robert Stick gold,a sleep researcher at Hayward Medical! School who conducted the latest study.
"It seems that memories normally wash out of the brain unless some process nails them down.My suspicion is that sleep is one of those things that does the nailing down,Professor Stick gold said.
With about one in five people claiming that they are so chronically short of sleep that it affects their daily activities.the latest work emphasizes the less well-understood side effect—serious memory impairment(损害).
Volunteers in an experiment found it easier to remember a memory task if they were allowed to sleep that night.But for those kept awake ,no amount of subsequent sleep made up for the initial loss.
Professor Stick gold's team trained 24 people to identify the direction of three diagonal(斜线形的)bars flashed for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal(水平的)stripes.
Half of the subjects were kept awake that night。while the others slept.Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers.
Those who slept the first night were significantly and consistently better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement despite enjoying two nights of catch.up sleep.

A GROWING RESTAURANT CHAIN
Simon Dale, the chairman and founder of the Dalehouse restaurant chain, yesterday announced plans to open a further 20 restaurants and create 600 new jobs in the next four years. The group hopes to open 4 of the new restaurants by the end of this year, creating up to 120 jobs. The programme will result in a chain of over 100 Dalehouse restaurants in towns and cities all over the United Kingdom by the end of the four-year period.
The company also has a limited programme of expansion in other countries. There are plans for the company to open its third restaurant abroad towards the middle of next year as planning permission was recently received for a restaurant in the south of Spain. At the moment there is a Dalehouse restaurant in Germany and another in Denmark. Negotiations are already taking place about opening two more restaurants in Germany and three more in Spain.
Mr Dale said yesterday: 'Our plans are ambitious and there is no doubt that in some ways they are quite frightening. But we've been in business for twenty years and a lot of our staff have been with us for most of that time and, as a result, have experience of things growing at a fast rate.'
The Dalehouse chain currently has 82 restaurants, all in town centre locations. The group is planning now to expand further in residential areas. The company intends to continue its tradition of having most of its restaurants open from midday until midnight seven days a week. It will also continue to open restaurants in buildings which were originally designed for a different purpose.
Certain financial journalists wonder whether the company will be able to find enough cash to finance its plans. Mr Dale, however, remains positive. 'It is true,' he says, 'that we will not be able to finance the plans without some support from the banks, and we are in the process of arranging this at the moment. Most of the money, however, will come from the amount we have kept back from 'our profits for future investment in the business. We opened 4 restaurants last year so an expansion programme of 5 this year and 6 next would not be outside the normal rate of growth. We have had hardly any problems financing our expansion in the past and expect this to continue in the future.
After four years there will be
A.a total of 600 people employed by Dalehouse restaurants.
B.a Dalehouse restaurant in over 120 UK towns and cities.
C.20 more Dalehouse restaurants than there are at present.
