I did not sleep well as a child. When I closed my eyes, I was not inundated with calming thoughts, nor fantastical images, but rather assaulted by existential anxieties which coaxed me into undesired ruminations about my being. I believed falling asleep was tantamount to relinquishing control over my ephemeral existence, as there was no guarantee of awakening. I found myself clinging to the present to the detriment of the future, desperately eschewing its hastened arrival for fear that it would not include me in its progression.

This essay views sleep and sleep deprivation from five different motivational perspectives in order to gain a holistic understanding of the phenomena.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the correlational method as a means for examining the relationship between REM sleep and memory. I will describe previous research and then investigate how REM and memory are associated in young people and in older people.

Relative to younger people, older people spend very little time in NREM-3, and their individual periods of REM sleep are abbreviated. 1b. Both men and women with normal brains experience genital arousal during REM sleep. There are no differences between the effects of REM on genital arousal of older people and of younger people. 1c. When an average

It is true that some individuals (e.g. those suffering from insomnia) are able to live on very small amounts of sleep, but nevertheless, they do need some. Studies of sleep deprivation have found that there may be severe consequences of not sleeping at. Randy Gardner, for example, went without sleep for 11 nights.
