Bad memories could be rewritten while you sleep, not erased; study finds

A recent study reveals that positive memories, especially during sleep, can weaken the impact of negative ones. Researchers found that by re-associating neutral cues with pleasant images, participants later recalled negative associations less vividly. This gentle crowding out, particularly during sleep's memory processing phase, offers a promising, non-invasive avenue for managing distressing recollections.
