One group slept for the night after seeing the video. The other group stayed awake. Participants recorded their memories of the images for several days. </p> </p> <p>“Our results reveal that people who slept after the film had fewer and less distressing recurring emotional memories than those who were awake,” said study author Birgit Kleim. She is a clinical psychological scientist in the department of psychiatry, psychotherapy and psychosomatics at the University of Zurich. </p> </p> <p>“This supports the assumption that sleep may have a protective effect in the aftermath of traumatic experiences,” she added in a university news release. </p> </p> <p>Sleep can help weaken emotions linked with memories, such as fear caused by a traumatic event. Sleep also helps people process and integrate distressing memories more effectively, the researchers said. </p> </p> <p>They noted there is a lack of early treatment options for people who have had traumatic experiences. </p> </p> <p>“Our approach offers an important noninvasive alternative to the current attempts to erase traumatic memories or treat them with medication,” Kleim said. “The use of sleep might prove to be a <a href=suitable and natural early prevention strategy.”

The study was published in the December issue of the journal Sleep.
