There is an interesting post about that here: [Results of study before sleep and after awakening](https://forum.artofmemory.com/t/results-of-study-before-sleep-and-after-awakening/68447)

> “We found that interleaving sleep between learning sessions not only reduced the amount of practice needed by half but also ensured much better long-term retention. Sleeping after learning is definitely a good strategy, but **sleeping between two learning sessions is a better strategy**.”

I wonder whatever happened with this: [Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation May Lower IQ Scores](https://forum.artofmemory.com/t/transcranial-direct-current-stimulation-may-lower-iq-scores/30639)
