8.5% better at reproducing German-Japanese word pairs, but ok. And not during sleeping, really. It's during learning, sleeping and testing that effect occurs. Ikd why the headline only mentions sleeping. Am I reading figure 4 wrong?
It is known for a longer time that reproducing knowledge is somewhat better when it occurs in the same environment as learning took place. This might capitalize on that, but not really, as odor in learning and testing doesn't score well. But I agree, it might also be a fluke, bad design, drawer effect, etc.
The statistics are not convincing. When I look at the difference between LS and LST on the last day, LST has a lump in the middle, which would mean most learners didn't benefit. LS is on average lower, but one or two bad learners in that group would account for the whole difference. So I'm not convinced.
And then there's the "no significant differences in sleeptime" spiel, which is 100% bollocks.
