If most of your nights go sleepless and stressful, your chances of coming out with weaker memory are quite high. A new study has vindicated this fact after studying some mice in which they found that due to sleeplessness they failed to produce adequate new cells in the brain’s hippocampus- an area necessary for keeping up learning and memory.
Bringing out the negative effects of stress and sleeplessness a team led by Elizabeth Gould, a professor of psychology at Princeton University in Princeton, N.J. said, ‘The stressful nature of sleep deprivation exerts negative effects on the hippocampus.
Studies conducted earlier have also revealed bad implications of stress and sleeplessness and this new study adds another chapter to this.

i can agree that stress could trigger low memory but sleeplessness cannot be associated with it . i sleep around 2’0 clock at night and this has been a regular practice from the past seven years but i firmly believe that my memory hasn’t deteriorated at all .. i still remember my grade 10 English lessons and that was almost 10 years ago ... one thing that does happen with lesser sleep is big black contours under your eyes the rest is a myth .... What Say!
Dear Atul, you go to bed at 2’O clock at night but dear you didn’t tell me when you come out of your bed in the morning.???????????????
