First, you do the waking learning, accompanied by the stimulus. Then, when you're in the right sleep phase, the same stimulus is played, and the brain follows the associated path to reinforce the payload memories. It might not work if the music or other stimulus was experienced as conflicting with or diluting the original experience, so one would have to be careful to integrate the two - association and payload during the waking experience.

I used to fail geography. Then I used sleep learning and I came top. the downside was it so interrupted my sleep, which I has wrongly assumed was wasted time, that I went insane, unable to accurately distinguish between fact and imagination and having lock-ins for decades.

I used that one as well. According to my nose xrays and the stiches; it did not work. Read my .99cent ebook.

Study during the day, leave your udacity or EdX videos playing on your laptop during the night, wake up an expert. This could be an interesting strategy for online learners.
