REM sleep obstructive sleep apnoea [PDF]
European Respiratory ReviewObstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can occur in both rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep or be limited to REM sleep, when the upper airway is most prone to collapse due to REM sleep atonia.

Current Biology, 2020 For many decades, sleep researchers have sought to determine which species ‘have’ rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. In doing so, they relied predominantly on a template derived from the expression of REM sleep in the adults of a small number of mammalian species.

REM Sleep Characteristics in Narcolepsy and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder [PDF]
Sleep, 2007 To assess the presence of polysomnographic characteristics of REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) in narcolepsy; and to quantify REM sleep parameters in patients with narcolepsy, in patients with "idiopathic" RBD, and in normal controls.Sleep laboratory studySixteen patients with narcolepsy and cataplexy matched for age and sex with 16 patients with ...

Molecular Mechanisms of REM Sleep [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep is a paradoxical sleep state characterized by brain activity similar to wakefulness, rapid-eye-movement, and lack of muscle tone.

The Sentinel Sleep Theory: Unweaving the biological function of REM sleep [PDF]
Sleep Medicine: XThe biological function of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep remains one of neuroscience’s great mysteries. In this theoretical research paper, I present the evolutionary theory that explains why REM sleep exists.

Local Aspects of Avian Non-REM and REM Sleep [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Birds exhibit two types of sleep that are in many respects similar to mammalian rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep. As in mammals, several aspects of avian sleep can occur in a local manner within the brain.

REM sleep and neurodegeneration [PDF]
Journal of Sleep ResearchSummarySeveral brainstem, subcortical and cortical areas are involved in the generation of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. The alteration of these structures as a result of a neurodegenerative process may therefore lead to REM sleep anomalies.

An Asymmetrical Hypothesis for the NREM-REM Sleep Alternation—What Is the NREM-REM Cycle?
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Since the discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (Aserinsky and Kleitman, 1953), sleep has been described as a succession of cycles of non-REM (NREM) and REM sleep episodes.

A probabilistic model for the ultradian timing of REM sleep in mice.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2021 A salient feature of mammalian sleep is the alternation between rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep. However, how these two sleep stages influence each other and thereby regulate the timing of REM sleep episodes is still largely unresolved.
