Random Fact, sort of.Studies show that they took right handed people (in the morning) and asked them to type 4-1-3-2-4 with their left hand. They then had the same subjects do this again but in the evening. They showed no improvement.Then they took a different group of right handed people (in the evening) and asked them to perform the same task. The subjects were told to get a good night's sleep and to do it again in the morning. When they did, their accuracy had increased about 15% to 20% and their speed 30% and 40%.They should change the saying to, "Sleep makes perfect."

Maybe if they used that same group of people before, and just tried it at different times. I don't know, just sounds like a stupid way to test something in my opinion.

I don't get it, who can't type 4-1-3-2-4?

Right handed people typing with their left hand, not specified if it was numpad or not.And GW, they weren't rating them to a certain level, but on their improvement, so getting a different group wouldn't matter.AND they had to do it as fast as they could and keep on doing it.

How can someone improve on something if they only do it once?! arrrhg

Did you not read my post?"...people (in the morning) and..." "...same subjects do this again but in the evening...""...group of right handed people (in the evening) and..." "... good night's sleep and to do it again in the morning..."Looks like two times to me.

"... good night's sleep and to do it again in the morning..."Looks like two times to me.Two different groups of people do it once, not the same people doing it twice.

But both groups do it once in the morning and once in the evening = twice? o.O
