Has anyone tried recording themselves, reading out information for subjects on dictathingymajigs and listened to it while sleeping.

Im sure some of you sciencey people, may have heard your brain is very active during sleeping and therefore may absorb some of the information.


If so, has it worked?

I tried it and i couldn't sleep. But i found it really helpful to listen to it when your awake ie, on the bus, walking to the train station, eating lunch etc. Maybe try recording paragraphs and listen to it on repeat because it's harder with long essays. You never know till you try. :)

Yeah it does seem wierd, but if it helps; i'd be all for it. Personally, i have never done it. And yeah, i heard from these documentaries that your brain picks up upon external stimulus' and can sometimes use these and process them. So if it were true, it would record your study notes, more efficiently than sitting down during the day, and revising.

Yeah, if i do it, it will be on my subjects like History. Hopefully, they live up to their reputation of being boring and sending you to sleep aye.

I have never listened to it while sleeping. Wouldn't it keep you awake?

Recording yourself works best if you're an Auditory learner.

I've 'heard' that this doesn't actually work. I read it somewhere but I can't remember. It was like in the 'common myths regarding memorisation' part of a presentation I think. Maybe it was from Prue Salt??

It sounds bogus to me. Especially since most people probably got the idea off the Simpsons.

I've always imagined if some creep was listening to some orgasm sound clips, and his/her friend says "Can I hear what you're listening to?"


AWKWARD :D
