The idea of learning during sleep, say by listening to a recorded class, can be tempting to make a good use of roughly a third of the day. Has it ever worked though? If so what is the most efficient method to retain information?

It seems like it has worked, but usually only when you're in the stage where alpha activity occurs, which is just before you wake up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep-learning – Some Guy Jun 13 '12 at 07:49

The fact that most research is circa 1960 and that hypnopaedia is promoted mostly in self-growth/self-help sites suggests that there isn't strong scientific support on the concept. – Astyanax Jul 10 '12 at 18:01
