Recent studies that sleep’s function goes far beyond rest and replenishment. It also involves a state of active offline information processing that is essential to the appropriate functioning of learning and memory. It has been established that there are three important stages in memory; new memories are initially acquired (encoding), become strengthened and reorganized (consolidation), and are finally recalled (retrieval) (Feld and Diekelmann, 2015).
Memory is often divided into two categories, declarative and non-declarative. Declarative memory is known to be those memories that are available to conscious recall. Declarative memory is then further divided into semantic and episodic memories. Non-declarative memories include skill memories
