So I started learning. I learned in different ways, you know - to watch German movies, play German speeches on my iPod when I sleep. Your brain remembers things you don't even know. It's beautiful.
- legacynl 4y agoLearning by listening to something during your sleep doesn't work. Brains go into a sort of maintenance mode during sleep, and it's not possible for your brain to sleep and interpret & comprehend sensory input at the same time. Most likely the noise will have a negative effect on the length and quality of your sleep, which does have a proven negative effect on memory. So it's probably better for you to learn while your awake and just sleep at night.
- AlwaysRock 4y agoIt doesnt work but placebo is strong. If someone thinks it is working, while also learning in other ways, then its likely working.
- xapata 4y agoThe placebo effect is so strong that it even works if you know you're taking a placebo. Brains are amazing!
