Humans are highly social animals who critically need to remember information from social episodes in order to successfully navigate future social interactions. We propose that such episodic memories about social encounters are processed during sleep, following the learning experience, with sleep abstracting and consolidating social gist knowledge (e.g., beliefs, first impressions, or stereotypes) about others that supports relationships and interpersonal communication.

睡眠是社交：睡眠和记忆在社交互动中的关键作用

人类是高度社交的动物，他们迫切需要记住社交事件中的信息，以便成功地驾驭未来的社交互动。我们建议在睡眠期间处理这种关于社交遭遇的情景记忆，在学习经历之后，通过睡眠抽象和巩固关于支持人际关系和人际交流的他人的社会要旨知识（例如，信念、第一印象或刻板印象）。
