Hey-- there's evidence of improved learning, in respect to sleep stages,
but not of the same type of tasks in respect to sleep stage, and there's
a whole lot of literature both pro and con.
By trying to get you to focus your question, the likelihood of some kind
of good answer being given is increased.

Since I can formulate the question that specifically, and still can't *definitively*
answer it, (and yes, I have worked in a sleep lab, and know the literature)
your reply is cute, but false.

Someone else can help you.
