Likelihood of False Memories Increase after Poor Sleep

New research may have strong implications for the criminal justice system as researchers discover not getting enough sleep may increase the likelihood of forming false memories.
Researchers from University of California, Irvine discovered sleep-deprived people who viewed photographs of a crime being committed and then read false information about the photos were more likely to report remembering the false details in the photos than were those who got a full night’s sleep.
