has found that students taking the
sleep teaching performed daily
lessons with more ease and speed
than those who did not take it.
Beyond education possibilities,
Max Sherover, inventor of the ap
paratus used in sleep teaching,
believes that the technique may
also have value in curing mental
illness. He is planning to distrib
