This study specifically asked how sleep restriction would impact complex tasks of learning and memory. Although it is well-known that a single night of total sleep deprivation can reduce the capacity to encode new memories. We found that sleep restriction over several consecutive nights – the more commonly experienced form of sleep deprivation – leads to an inability to form new memories effectively.
