Abstract

Sleeping time is usually associated with short-term memory, while the mechanisms under this relationship are less understood. This study examined the role of sleeping time in this relationship with cross-sectional data. 24 Chinese between 18 and 30 years old were recruited. Their sleeping time was recorded, and PsychoPy collected the data of memory test. The results showed that (1) the Sleeping time is positively correlated with sleep duration, (2) participants were more likely to remember the words related to emotions. These findings suggest that proper sleeping time can help improve the efficiency of productivity.
