Sleep is characterized as a brain state optimized for memory consolidation, whereas waking is optimized for encoding of memories.
Quoted textsource-backed
Newer findings characterize sleep as a brain state optimizing memory consolidation, in opposition to the waking brain being optimized for encoding of memories.
Current theories emphasize an active role for sleep in which memories undergo system consolidation during sleep.

Sleep benefits the retention of memory.
Quoted textsource-backed
Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the retention of memory.
The principle of offline consolidation during sleep may extend beyond hippocampus-dependent memory to non-hippocampus-dependent and immunological memories.
Quoted textsource-backed
The concept of an active redistribution of memory representations from networks serving as temporary store into long-term stores might hold also for non-hippocampus-dependent memory, and even for nonneuronal, i.e., immunological memories.
Ensuing REM sleep may stabilize transformed memories.

Slow-wave sleep is important for memory consolidation.
Quoted textsource-backed
Recent work has revealed the importance of slow-wave sleep (SWS) for memory consolidation.
