One thing I’ve found when I spend most of a day trying to learn things, is that having a ~1.5 hour nap is pretty important. Not sure what goes on, but it feels like it turns the disconnected “fog” of information in my head into something that is a least loosely linked and can be vaguely recalled upon rather than completely forgotten.
Unfortunately I kinda need to plan these sorts of days ahead, because trying to nap past 2PM is a good way to fuck my nighttime sleep.
I'm pretty sure the current thought is that you ONLY "learn" during sleep, if you consider learning to be filtering, organizing, and throwing out vs keeping.
