Welcome to Dementia Jersey’s Big Brain Challenge!
The challenge is to navigate your way to all 25 locations on the island to have a chance to win an iPad donated by Jersey Telecom.
Jersey Library.
Each location contains some information about improving your brain health, and a clue to the next location. As you read the information about improving your brain health, you will notice that there is a letter in purple. Make a record of each purple letter at each site so that once you have visited them all you will be able to make a phrase about brain health. You can then submit the phrase via our website, giving you a chance to win an iPad.
It’s important to dream.
Sleep is believed to be the key to memory formation. Learning and memory are made up of three steps – acquiring new information, storing or consolidating it and recalling it. The process begins with acquiring new information while we are awake and if we are sleep deprived, we find it hard to focus and so struggle to take it in. Research suggests that the next step, the consolidation or long-term storage of that information, takes place while we are asleep. Therefore, getting a good night’s sleep (which includes dreaming) is vital for memory consolidation and overall brain health.
