However even though the memory may be formed without sleep, I find if I haven't had a good night's rest before an exam my stress levels are too high (I haven't given my cortisol levels their own chance to nap) which does not allow for a relaxed enough state to recall said memories during the test. Or it takes a long time to fight through exhaustion to recall the information. As usual, there are more aspects at play and I always recommend sleep over more cramming! That’s very interesting.
