Emily HokettAccording to a recent study conducted by Georgia Tech researchers Emily Hokett and Audrey Duarte, older adults who aren’t getting consistent nights of quality sleep could have trouble remembering things the next day. “The night-to-night variability in the older study participants had a major impact on their performance in tests aimed at evaluating episodic memory,” said Audrey Duarte, an associate professor in the School of Psychology. “The association between sleep and memory has been known, but this study’s novelty is showing that the connection is particularly evident for older adults and black participants, regardless of age.” The work was also covered by Indian Express.
