Sleep and Dreams

By watching this documentary there were numerous things I personally learned including the importance of sleep, and how the process of dreaming really Works. Another thing I learned that was very interesting to me was that there has been found that there are different stages of sleep and that dreaming may occur various times during the night most probably in the area of REM sleep. In the documentary scientists investigated through  a very interesting experiment this theory, for example, to see the topic of lucid dreaming a scientist investigated people in their sleep and put a light in front of their eyes previously telling them that if they ever saw a light they had to move their eyes a certain way which they continuously did in the middle of the experiment proving the theory, other experiments shown included one of looking at a person sleep and waking them up at certain hours and asking them about they’re dreams proving the theory of REM sleep and dreams.  In conclusion I believe that sleep is a very important aspect of our daily lives as we need it to survive and I learned that dreams are categorized as a way in which the brain reorganizes the information taken during the day and that’s why you would learn better if you learned and then slept.
