Abstract

Abstract Purpose of Review This short review article aims at emphasizing interesting and important new insights about investigating sleep and memory in children aged between 6 and 13 years (middle childhood). Recent Findings That sleep in comparison to wakefulness benefits the consolidation of memories is well established—especially for the adult population. However, the underlying theoretical frameworks trying to explain the benefits of sleep for memory still strive for more substantiate findings including biological and physiological correlates. Summary Based on the most recent literature about sleep-related memory consolidation and its physiological markers during middle childhood, this article provides a review and highlights recent updates in this field.

Int J Clin Exp Hypn. 2020;68(1):105–29. Available from:. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207144.2020.1687260. This study aimed at investigating and replicating findings from a previous nap-study on the effects of hypnotic suggestions (before sleep) on slow-wave sleep duration and activity during 8 hours of nighttime sleep. The findings indicate that hypnotic suggestions before sleep lead to a higher amount of slow-wave sleep in highly hypnotizable subjects and to higher slow-wave activity compared to a control condition, especially at the beginning of the night. This study provides a basis for the examination and potential application of hypnosis to improve sleep in clinical populations.
