Schlafstörungen & Gedächtnis

Gedächtnis und Schlaf sind basale Funktionen unseres Lebens. Durch unser Gedächtnis werden die einzelnen Momente unseres Erlebens zusammengefügt und wir können uns als Individuum erleben. Die Gedächtnisbildung wird besonders durch den Schlaf gefördert. Es gibt mittlerweile eine Reihe von Hinweisen darauf, dass bei bestimmten Störungen des Schlafes die schlafbezogene Gedächtnisbildung ebenfalls beeinträchtigt ist.
