Obviously, we learn languages much more easily when we are awake. Learning While Awake Is Incredibly Powerful. If you plan on using sleep learning for reinforcing words, make sure that it doesn’t affect your quality of sleep. Having a good night’s sleep alone can improve your ability to recall words you’ve learned during the day. In our opinion, losing quality sleep because you are trying to save time during the day is very counterproductive. Wearing headphones can be annoying and listening through speakers can annoy your partner. It can be hard to fall asleep and stay in dreamland throughout the night. Having an audio recording playing in your ears all night can affect how you sleep it’s quite difficult to ignore.
Now, it’s also important to keep in mind that your quality of sleep may suffer. This is important information and it may be something to try if you are completely out of time during your waking hours. It’s mostly subconscious associations, which is why it can reinforce words that you already know quite well, but it can’t learn new words from scratch. The brain can process information to some extent during sleep. It seems that for about two thirds of people, listening to words they already know while sleeping did help them remember them better. The research is a bit more promising for this. Okay, now let’s look at another situation you’ve learned some new words while you were awake, and you want to help your brain remember them while you are sleeping. Reviewing Words You Have Previously Learned. For almost everyone, learning new words from scratch while you sleep is a lost cause and will most likely be a very disappointing experience. Listening while you sleep is very passive the brain does not seem to make associations and deductions to try to learn words from context. If you listen to words you have never learned before, it’s hard for the subconscious to learn them. However, the evidence we have so far seems to indicate that it’s nearly impossible to learn new things while we sleep. Scientific research is still limited on sleep learning. But is learning while sleeping a complete myth or can it be used to some extent to learn languages? In this post, we’ll go through our own experiences and observations of sleep learning, but keep in mind that we’re also strong believers of the whatever-works-for-you-is-awesome mentality.
This time seems wasted, so wouldn’t it be great if we could just listen to our target language during sleep and wake up fluent? I think it’s pretty safe to say that it’s not quite that easy.
We are busy individuals and we sleep through about a third of our lives. Some methods out there claim to teach you a language while you sleep, and many people try them because it sounds so great! We agree, learning a language while you’re in dreamland sounds like… a dream (yeah, I know). This is a topic that makes many people curious for many reasons.
