QUIZ: Sleep Facts and Fallacies
Answer to Question 2 of 8

Wrong, the correct answer is:

One of the sleep stages is called REM sleep. REM stands for...


Regular, even movements.

Reduced energy metabolism.

Rapid eye movement.

None of the above.
 
REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement. This is the sleep stage in which people dream. Dreaming seems to play a role in the formation of memories. Children and adults alike dream more towards the end of their sleep, in the early morning hours. (Unsurprisingly, that's when most nightmares occur, as well.)
