Some studies show that most small businesses provide their employees with a happy working environment. First of all, in a small business, the relationship among employees is more like a family instead of classifying people into newcomers and old-timers. Second, since the business is small, everyone is important and is easily seen. Once the employee’s ability is noticed, he or she will feel more motivated. Last, there are fewer rules and limitations in small businesses.

    Abstract

    Why is this topic important for public health? At some point, most of us have sacrificed valuable hours of sleep to study for an exam, meet a project deadline, or put final touches on preparations for an important event. Sacrificing sleep often seems like a small price to pay for checking items off the to-do list. However, short sleep actually impairs performance, interferes with learning, and disrupts memory formation – making it much more difficult to complete tasks. This essay summarizes some of the science that explains sleep’s role in learning and memory and why getting a good night’s sleep is critical for achieving peak performance

    There are 3 different types of memory: working, short-term, and long-term. Working memory is what you are remembering in the present moment. Working memory is very brief and fragile, meaning it doesn’t last long. An example of working memory is remembering a phone number long enough to dial it.

    Working memories can become short-term memories if something about the memory or situation is meaningful to you. For example, think back to a time when you were introduced to a group of strangers. You probably did not remember their names for more than a few seconds. However, if one of them had the same name as your mom, best friend, or favorite singer, you probably did remember that stranger’s name. Because that name was meaningful to you, it stuck -- became a short-term memory. As you may have guessed, short-term memories last longer than working memories. You’re able to remember short-term memories at a later time (not too much later; perhaps just later that day).

    Short-term memories can become long-term memories during sleep. Sleep helps turn short-term memories into long-term memories and combines them with the information already stored in your brain. You can think of it like organizing new memories into a filing cabinet with all your other memories, so you can access them later. This process of storing short-term memories as long-term memories is called consolidation. Consolidation is critical for learning and memory, which can determine how well we function and perform tasks.
