Lack of Sleep Hurts Memory

Have you ever found yourself struggling to remember certain things when you've had a rough night of sleep? A recent study shows that lack of sleep can hurt your memory. Misidentifications are thought to be the leading cause of wrongful convictions in areas such as criminal justice in the U.S.

People are getting less sleep each night than they ever have before, which is causing for these issues. Participants in the study who were kept awake for 24 hours, or got five or fewer hours of sleep, were more likely to mix up event details than those who were well rested. Memory distortion is more likely to form in people who repeatedly get low amounts of sleep every night.


Lack of sleep can hurt your memory, making it even more important that you get your full night of sleep every night. American Down and Feather can help you by providing you with comfortable pillows, comforters and more! Contact us today to learn about our products.
