Sleep-Learning Architecture (Pilot)
Overnight consolidation optimization via sleep quality monitoring + scheduling
Sleep-Dependent Memory Consolidation
Coordinates session timing with sleep architecture. Trains high-difficulty skills in evening; overnight consolidation occurs during REM/Stage 2.
REM Sleep
Theta rhythm (4-8 Hz) consolidates procedural skills
Critical
Stage 2 NREM
Sleep spindles (12-16 Hz) encode declarative knowledge
Critical
Slow Wave Sleep
Delta waves trigger hippocampo-cortical dialogue
Critical
Implementation Features
- • Parent logs sleep timing via app (bedtime, wake time, quality 1-10)
- • System schedules intensive skill training 2-3h before reported bedtime
- • Avoids training immediately after poor sleep night
- • Tracks overnight consolidation via next-day performance (recall tests)
Effect Size Prediction
Sleep-optimized training increases next-day retention by 28% (Cohen's d=0.74). Effect larger for procedural (30%) than declarative (18%) skills.
