Research from psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis* say that 'when it comes to executing items on tomorrow's to-do list, it's best to think it over, then 'sleep on it.' Apparently, people 'who sleep after processing and storing a memory carry out their intentions much better than people who try to execute their plan before getting to sleep.' The psychologists have shown that 'sleep enhances our ability to remember to do something in the future, a skill known a prospective memory.
Bottom line = get a good night's sleep and your brain and your body will work better and be healthier!
