Sleep and smell the roses


Have you read this latest report about how the scent of roses while you sleep can improve your memory? This report from the Associated Press tells it all. But, there's a catch: Apparently, jogging your memory while asleep only happens during one particular stage of sleep--and the rose smell triggers only certain memories. So if you're trying to remember the name of your uncle's cousin's dead cat, twice removed, this may not be the trick for you.
It's a pertinent story, given that we're about to lose an hour of sleep tonight (but we get it back in the fall).
Happy snoozing. And remember to "spring forward" your clocks later on.
