A stage in the circadian sleep cycle during which dreams occur and the body undergoes marked changes including rapid eye movement, loss of reflexes, and increased pulse rate and brain activity. The cycle from wakefulness through an orderly succession of sleep states and stages that occurs on an approximately 24 hour rhythm. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the duration or quality of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Any process that activates or increases the duration or quality of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. A behavioral process involved in the cycle from wakefulness through an orderly succession of sleep states and stages that occurs on an approximately 24 hour rhythm. Any process by which an organism enters and maintains a periodic, readily reversible state of reduced awareness and metabolic activity. Usually accompanied by physical relaxation, the onset of sleep in humans and other mammals is marked by a change in the electrical activity of the brain. The specific actions or reactions of an organism that recur with a regularity of approximately 24 hours. The part of the circadian sleep/wake cycle where the organism is asleep.
