Why REM sleep? Clues beyond the laboratory in a more challenging world

J Horne - Biological psychology, 2013 - Elsevier
REM sleep (REM) seems more likely to prepare for ensuing wakefulness rather than
provides recovery from prior wakefulness, as happens with 'deeper'nonREM. Many of REM's …

Age differences in the variability and distribution of sleep spindle and rapid eye movement densities

KR Peters, LB Ray, S Fogel, V Smith, CT Smith - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org

architecture of young and older adults, with an emphasis on sleep spindle density and REM …

Is REM density a measure of arousal during sleep?

G Barbato - Brain Sciences, 2023 - mdpi.com
Rapid eye movements (REMs), an expression of REM sleep phasic activity, occur against a
stable background of cortical desynchronization and the absence of axial tone. The …

REM sleep, energy balance and 'optimal foraging'

J Horne - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2009 - Elsevier
Mechanisms underlying mammalian REM sleep (REM) indicate commonality with feeding
