PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

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: -The amount of REM sleep may increase after prior REM sleep deprivation, during the first night of treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (REM rebound) and after withdrawal of REM suppressing medications (Table F8-3). Factors that shorten REM latency also typically increase the duration of REM sleep.

Detailed explanation-3: -What Happens if You Don’t Get Enough REM Sleep? Multiple studies of both humans and animals suggest that being deprived of REM sleep interferes with memory formation. However, memory problems associated with a loss of REM sleep could be due to overall sleep disruption, since those often occur together.
