Familiar Smells While Sleeping Improve Memory?
According to a story in The New York Times, it’s true:
Scientists studying how sleep affects memory have found that the whiff of a familiar scent can help a slumbering brain better remember things that it learned the evening before. The smell of roses — delivered to people’s nostrils as they studied and, later, as they slept — improved their performance on a memory test by about 13 percent.
Hmm… so if I smell booze while sleeping, I can better remember what I did while out boozing the night before? Brilliant!
I need to remember to smell code my life.
