The destination memory is the ability of individuals to remember to whom the information has been delivered. The memory system is an essential and critical piece of social communication and human social cognition. Previously, research has been done on the relationship between source memory and sleep which are critical and fundamental processes influencing our daily lives. However, this present prospective narrative review sheds light on the idea of beginning new research to understand the relationship between destination memory and sleep. Although no such literature exists that can explain this relationship, this review will try to understand prospective future directions by synthesizing available literature on sleep and the source memory. The present narrative review provides an overview of research executed in the fields of source memory, destination memory, and sleep. Destination memory and source memory are the opposite sides of the same coin. They are a part of the episodic memory system. Research suggests that they share similarities, namely their contextual nature, involvement of the pre-frontal cortex (PFC), and role of the medial temporal lobe (MTL). Studies on the effect of sleep on source memory have indicated that it plays a role in consolidation. This consolidation involves binding the item to its context. Due to the shared characteristics of source and destination memory, it can be suggested that sleep may play a role in influencing destination memory. Understanding this relationship will have implications for enhancing social memory/communication efficacy through sleep hygiene.
目的记忆是个体记住信息传递对象的能力。记忆系统是社会交流和人类社会认知的重要且关键的组成部分。此前，已经对源记忆与睡眠之间的关系进行了研究，这两者是影响我们日常生活的关键且基本的过程。然而，当前这篇前瞻性叙述性综述揭示了开展新研究以理解目的记忆与睡眠之间关系的想法。尽管尚无能够解释这种关系的相关文献，但本综述将通过综合关于睡眠和源记忆的现有文献来尝试理解未来可能的研究方向。当前的叙述性综述提供了在源记忆、目的记忆和睡眠领域所开展研究的概述。目的记忆和源记忆是同一枚硬币的两面。它们是情景记忆系统的一部分。研究表明它们具有相似之处，即它们的情境性、前额叶皮层（PFC）的参与以及内侧颞叶（MTL）的作用。关于睡眠对源记忆影响的研究表明，睡眠在巩固过程中发挥作用。这种巩固涉及将项目与其情境联系起来。由于源记忆和目的记忆具有共同特征，因此可以推测睡眠可能在影响目的记忆方面发挥作用。理解这种关系将对通过睡眠卫生提高社会记忆/交流效能具有启示意义。
