My uncle is a doctor and long ago we were having a good conversation about Sleeping and REM Periods...
He told me about one research that showed that the REM Period is when our brain is converting our Short Memory (Things that happened in last hours, in the last day) to Definite Memory (Things that happened last week, last month or even 10 years ago).
They took 2 groups of people, the first one were sleeping and living their lives normaly, the 2nd group were being awake everytime they went into a REM period...
After 2 weeks, the 2nd groupd had almost no memory about the things that happened some days or weeks before.
Remember, the biggest part of your REM Periods are concentrated in the last time of sleep (after 4,5 hours usually).
