Say i listened to a story or song or a bunch of facts before an exam during a 8 hour sleep. Would i have captured most of the words and be able to repeat them. Or would my head be completly messed up?

You'd be lucky to remember anything. Surely you've fallen asleep with the TV or radio playing before. Did you find you'd memorized any of what was played while you were out? I didn't think so. I suggest you try to fill your brain with stuff for your exams while you are awake.

Neither.
Common urban legend - after Adolf Huxley's Brave New World, has that listening while asleep would foster memorization. In reality, it appears it is not so. However, if you study a subject and THEN go to sleep, during sleep you will fix the information in your brain, and when you recall it in the morning you will finalize the memorization in long term.

There were some studies on this and I tried it out. Unfortunately the tapes I played were the ones with the details of the studies so I can't really remember anymore details for you.
I think it works though.

it might sound really strang but when i was younger about 10 years ago i always slept with the radio on. one of my favourite songs came on and i woke up straight away. studies also show that you shouldnt listen to anything while sleeping as if the brain hears something it processes it.

No I'm afraid not. Its a technique used by hypnotists to seed ideas into the unconscious brain but they are professionals. Its worth a try, but you might end up with everything jumbled up and not understanding anything!

Yes, anything you hear in your sleep will affect your waking mind. The information may not be there long and may not be easily accessible, but it will be there. Best wishes

I've heard that every single thing you experience in life is recorded in your brain but you have to find a way of accessing it.

Did you not see that episode of The Simpsons when he was trying to lose weight? They sent him the wrong tape and it increased his vocabulary instead!

No.
Your sense of hearing shuts down shortly after you fall asleep. Otherwise you would never stay asleep.

Theory has it that you do - subliminal learning, tried it with an assignment I need to learn word for word - can't say it helped
