Detailed explanation-1: -The Dual Process Hypothesis. The dual processes hypothesis assumes that different sleep stages serve the consolidation of different types of memories (428, 765, 967, 1096).
Detailed explanation-2: -Dreams Aid In Memory Consolidation The information-processing theory suggests that dreams are a way for the brain to process and make sense of the day’s events.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Defensive Activation Theory: REM Sleep as a Mechanism to Prevent Takeover of the Visual Cortex. Regions of the brain maintain their territory with continuous activity: if activity slows or stops (e.g., because of blindness), the territory tends to be taken over by its neighbors.
Detailed explanation-4: -After that, REM-the most active stage of sleep-seems to play a role in linking together related memories, sometimes in unexpected ways. That’s why a full night of sleep may help with problem-solving. REM sleep also helps you process emotional memories, which can reduce the intensity of emotions.
