Abstract
During REM sleep eye movement and brainwaves are very active, but everything else seems paralyzed. Even the thermoregulatory system does not work during REM sleep. Newborn infants sleep about 16 hours a day, half of which is REM sleep. This leads researchers to believe that REM sleep has something to do with the development of the brain. It may be that the sensory and motor systems that promote normal development are activated during REM sleep.
