REM sleep is a critical physiological phase that actively facilitates memory consolidation by stabilizing new information and integrating it into existing knowledge networks, as described in [1], [2], and [3]. Furthermore, the process of memory consolidation relies on the interplay between REM and NREM sleep stages [4], [5], with REM sleep specifically governing the long-term consolidation of emotional episodic memories [6].
