PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -The REM phase is also known as paradoxical sleep (PS) and sometimes desynchronized sleep or dreamy sleep, because of physiological similarities to waking states including rapid, low-voltage desynchronized brain waves.

Detailed explanation-2: -REM sleep (stage 5) REM sleep, also known as Rapid Eye Movement, is our dreaming state. Brain waves are more active than in Stages 2 & 3 and eye movements are more rapid. Awakenings occur more easily although if you wake during the middle of a REM period, you might feel groggy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 5: REM sleep The final stage of sleep is REM and this is the cycle where we dream. The eyes move rapidly behind the lids and breathing becomes shallow and rapid. Blood pressure and heart rate also increase during REM sleep and the arms and legs are paralyzed so that sleepers can’t act out their dreams.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is called paradoxical sleep because it involves seemingly contradictory states of an active mind and a sleeping body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Studies show that paradoxical insomnia may be related to specific personality traits, such as neuroticism. The correlation may be due to people with these traits having a tendency toward anxiety and higher arousal levels, but research into the connection is ongoing.
