MREM sleep

REM sleep, or Rapid Eye Movement sleep, is a phase of the sleep cycle characterized by quick movements of the eyes, increased brain activity, and vivid dreams. It typically occurs several times during a night's sleep, lasting longer with each cycle. During REM sleep, your muscles are mostly relaxed and almost paralysis occurs, preventing you from acting out dreams. This stage plays a vital role in memory consolidation, emotional regulation, and brain development. REM sleep is essential for overall health, helping your mind and body rest and rejuvenate after a day of activity.
