THE IMPACT OF POOR SLEEP ON OUR ABILITY TO LEARN.

As we all know that a good night's sleep is the key to our happiness and productivity.

On the contrary, the night insomnia negatively affected the results of our day. But the new study could only learn new skills in the area of ​​the brain, showing how it will affect the quality of sleep is poor.

A team of researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Friday) in Zurich, Switzerland, to study the effects of drugs on sleep and the brain's ability to learn new things.

Especially in the new study - published in the journal Nature Communications - the brain's ability to change and adapt to stimuli received from the environment or changes in the nerves, it affects the motor cortex and deep sleep.

Motor cortex region of the brain is to develop motor skills and control, step deep sleep --mara as weekend sleep quickly - is key to memory formation and processing, and support for a day when brain remodeling work.

How does poor sleep affect our ability to Learn?

Sleep deprivation affects the ability to remember, Poor Sleep Affects the Ability to Learn. 

It felt good after a good night's sleep and is relaxed and ready to deal with the day before problems. Conversely, a bad dream at night left us behind and a negative impact on results. The new study, published in the journal Nature, in the field of brain communication involved in learning and how learning can be affected by lack of sleep.

Researchers, the ability to modify cortical response and coefficient of expansion of the road environment, have been tested, and how it affects the deep sleep that is.

The study six weeks ago, and some problems overnight after going to bed at night without discomfort, and after the quality of the researcher to die in their sleep. In addition, the researchers assessed the participants able to learn something new.

A high rate of return, which was written in the morning, some of the mistakes of survey participants today before the pattern of researchers expected. However, after a quiet night sleep and poor performance studio at the end of the day.
According to the researchers, participants in the study had to sleep in the morning after a bad night's night when you slept well at night. Without deep sleep, not enough synapses of nerve cells is "broken", with the ability to get people to understand the causes of the brain.

Manipulation of the Motor cortex during deep sleep.

The study involved six women and seven men who were asked to perform motor tasks during the day, after a night of undisturbed sleep, and after a night when deep sleep was disturbed.

The tasks involved in learning a series of finger movements, and the researchers were able to pinpoint the brain area responsible for the movement of learning.
Using electroencephalogram, the researchers monitored the participants' brain activity while they slept.

On the first day of the experiment - after the first session of the movement study - the participants were able to sleep undisturbed.

However, on the second night, the researchers tested participants' sleep quality. They were able to focus on the motor cortex and disrupt their deep sleep, thereby investigating the effect of sleeping on a neuroplastic sleep associated with the practice of new movements.

The participants did not know that their deep sleep phase was taken care of. For them, their sleep quality was roughly the same in both cases.

Poor sleep keeps synapses excited, blocks the brain's ability to learn.

Then, the researchers assessed the participants' ability to learn new movements. In the morning, the services of the subjects were top notch, as expected.
However, with advanced today, they continue to make more and more mistakes. Again, it was expected.

After a sleepless night renewed, noted the participants' education systems. But after a night of sleep manipulation, making their education has not improved significantly. In particular, the morning after a sleepless night, manipulative work of the participants was low as the previous evening.

The reason, researchers say, is that during the deep sleep of manipulation, the synapses of muscles do not "relax" as they are usually during sleep reconstructing.

During the day, our synapses in response to stimuli that surround our drawings. During sleep, however, these synapses themselves and recover their activity "units". Without this refreshing time, most synapses are taking too long. This situation hinders the Hnoiroflstiot, ie, learning new things is not possible.

"The most emotional areas of the brain, learning systems saturated and can no longer be changed, which delayed the learning of motor skills," explained Nicole writes the sub-ward and blood, a professor of Health Sciences and Technology at the edge of Zurich.

To ensure that they located the right brain area responsible for deep sleep, the researchers repeated the experiment by assigning the same task but manipulating a different region of the brain.

This did not result in any changes to the participants' performance.

This is the first time that a study has proven the causal connection between deep sleep and learning efficiency.
