The potentiated synaptic burden accumulates with wakefulness, while encoding potential decreases. The mid-day nap reduces this burden and enhances future learning. In this way, a mid-day nap facilitates learning in 2 ways: through global downscaling (as in the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis [77]), and by boosting subsequent learning potential [19].
