R.E.M. (Rapid Eye Movement) is a unique phase of sleep characterized by quick movements of the eyes, increased brain activity, and vivid dreams. This stage typically occurs about 90 minutes after falling asleep and recurs several times throughout the night. R.E.M. sleep plays a crucial role in memory consolidation, emotional regulation, and overall brain health. During R.E.M. sleep, the body experiences temporary muscle paralysis, preventing individuals from acting out their dreams. This phase is essential for cognitive functions and is often associated with dreaming. Disruptions in R.E.M. sleep can lead to various sleep disorders and affect overall well-being.
