Detailed explanation-1: -But during REM sleep, the thalamus is active, sending the cortex images, sounds, and other sensations that fill our dreams. The pineal gland, located within the brain’s two hemispheres, receives signals from the SCN and increases production of the hormone melatonin, which helps put you to sleep once the lights go down.

Much of this repair and growth is in muscle. During REM sleep, the body shifts its resources to the task of repairing tissues and cells.
