R.E.M.

Eyes darting unconsciously

R.E.M. stands for rapid eye movement, the phase of sleep characterized by quick movements of the eyes beneath closed lids, vivid dreaming, and heightened brain activity.

Sleep cycles through R.E.M. and non-R.E.M. stages several times per night: She woke during R.E.M. sleep and remembered the dream clearly.

R.E.M. sleep is considered essential for memory consolidation and mental restoration.
