My guess would be that it’s not all happening at once as you have short and long term memory. The simplest analogy is that your short term memory is a buffer that doesn’t use DNA, but a limited electro chemical storage of new present-moment information. Then it is transcribed through several steps of ever longer term storage methods in the brain. Some of which require sleep.
