Sleep is vital for long term memory encoding, consolidation, but less so for the retrieval. However not all sleep stages are equally as important. SWS is mostly responsible for both encoding and consolidation of declarative memories1, while REM sleep seems to be required for the consolidation of declarative memories, that are of emotional significance1,2, as well as spatial memory3. NREM2 was found to correleate with consolidation of motor sequence memory4, though SWS also affects motor coordination5.

Currently, very few polyphasic sleepers have used mnemonics to enhance their learning experiences, thus, this guide will attempt to demonstrate whatj the specific techniques are, as well as how polyphasic sleepers can take up this learning tool as a way to boost motivation, by using the extra waking hours for more intensive learning. It is also worth noting that the learning process may be hindered during the adaptation period with sleep deprivation, so the efficacy of the mnemonic techniques in this blog may deliver worse results than expected.
