  • EXAMPLE: During the sleep unit, some of the content focuses on REM Sleep within the sleep stages. We know that this REM sleep is essential in consolidating memories as well as pruning and "resetting" the brain overnight. Without the attainment of REM sleep, or sleep in general, the brain will not be able to function at greatest capacity. We also know that the brain demands REM sleep so much that it will perform an REM rebound the following nights just to catch up and sustain the highest functionality.
