In motor skill learning, an interval of sleep may be critical for the expression of performance gains; without sleep these gains will be delayed. [8] Procedural memories are a form of nondeclarative memory, so they would most benefit from the fast-wave REM sleep. [7] In a study, [9] procedural memories have been shown to benefit from sleep.
