2.9 Sleep and Dreaming
mixed difficulty
Why does deprivation of REM sleep lead to a phenomenon called "REM rebound"?
It results from a psychological craving for dreaming.
It is an aftereffect of suppressed NREM stages earlier in the night time cycle.
It compensates for the excessive production of melatonin during sleep deprivation.
The body needs to catch up on lost REM sleep because it plays a critical role in learning and memory consolidation.
