Leading sleep researcher Rosalind Cartwright brings together decades of work on sleep, dreaming, and sleep disorders to propose a new theory of how the mind works continuously. Drawing on her own research and that of others, Cartwright describes how conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings move forward - from waking, into sleep and dreaming, to the next waking day. One main purpose of sleep is to regulate disturbing emotions. Not everyone does this successfully every night.

When Henry Nicholls was 21, he was diagnosed with narcolepsy: a medical disorder causing him to fall asleep with no warning. For the healthy but overworked majority, this might sound like an enviable condition, but for Henry, the inability to stay awake is profoundly disabling, especially as it is accompanied by mysterious collapses called cataplexy, poor nighttime sleep, hallucinations and sleep paralysis. A writer and biologist, Nicholls explores the science of disordered sleep, discovering that around half of us will experience some kind of sleep dysfunction in our lives.

Dreaming takes place when you’re in a profound sleep. It’s often said that dreams represent our subconscious thoughts and feelings, which has led to the mysterious field of dream analysis. The word "lucid" comes from the Latin word "luscious", which means "shine". The Latin word and prefix "Luc" refer to "light". As a result, anything that is ‘lucid’ is related to having clarity. Lucid things can be seen and understood clearly.

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in 21st century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why its absence is so damaging to our health. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Editor reviews
Sleep is a difficult subject for scientists to study, but a major discovery was made by Nathaniel Kleitman and Eugene Aserinksy when they identified rapid eye movement, so named for the quick motions made by the eye during sleep. It is during REM sleep where dreams occur and the brain is most active. This iMinds production is a brief but illuminating overview of REM sleep, performed with a satisfying calm by Elouise Rothwell. Her soothing style seems fitting with the subject matter, and she relaxes the reader even as she informs.
Summary
Learn about REM sleep with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. REM is an important component of sleep. But sleep itself is a difficult phenomenon to study because it is such an insular process. Dreams in particular are highly elusive for the researcher of sleep. As dreaming is a "state of mind", theories concerning it are frustratingly convoluted and highly theory-based, with any advancement unlikely to be supported by hard evidence. However, what scientists can do is measure the physical reactions that take place in our bodies and by our bodies when we are sleeping. This helps us understand what happens to us when we sleep and what REM is all about.
From close monitoring of sleeping subjects, scientists have been able to discover an arc that we all go through in our unconscious state. Basically, sleep is divided into two cycles: REM and NREM. The former stands for "rapid eye movement" and the latter stands for "non-rapid eye movement".
Perfect to listen to while commuting, exercising, shopping or cleaning the house.. iMinds brings knowledge to your MP3 with 8 minute information segments to whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.

Short yet intersting
This is a short audio book on phases of sleep. It's been a while that I listened to the audio book 'Why We Sleep?' by Matthew Walker, which was a wonderful elaborate good quality book and actually one of the best books I ever listened to.
This audio book vaguely reminded me of some of the things Matthew Walker discussed in his book. Though this is a really short audio book, it does briefly explain sleep cycles. I enjoyed listening to it.

Rapid Eye Movements in Sleep
This iMinds listen is very interesting and makes me want to learn more about REM sleep, and also hope for more research to be done on the subject. The discovery that not only humans experience rapid eye movements in sleep and different phases during sleep is also interesting. The studies by scientists of what goes on in our bodies as we sleep is already reaping significant rewards, as in the discovery of sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. Great short audio.
