Detailed explanation-1: -REM rebound behavior refers to the increased frequency, depth, and intensity of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep following sleep deprivation or significant stressors. This activity describes the neurophysiology and hormonal processes the contribute to the phenomenon of REM rebound.
Detailed explanation-2: -REM rebound happens when the body stays in the REM sleep stage longer than it usually would. According to the Journal, Hormones and Behaviour, it’s the body’s response to stress and sleep deprivation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most common cause of REM rebound is sleep deprivation, especially very early awakening that cuts off the second half of our sleep. REM rebound also happens when a person stops taking a substance that suppresses REM sleep.
Detailed explanation-4: -Besides increased brain activity and muscle relaxation, your body goes through a series of changes during REM sleep. These changes include: Faster breathing. Increased heart rate and blood pressure.
Detailed explanation-5: -Sleep, especially REM sleep, is important for normal brain development. Animal experiments have shown that REM sleep deprivation during early development leads to permanent deviations in behavior, to alterations in neurotransmitter responses, and to reduced brain volumes.
