Cycle of Penile Erection Synchronous With Dreaming (REM) Sleep: Preliminary Report
Abstract
Introduction The discovery of the dream-sleep cycle by Aserinsky and Kleitman1and Dement and Kleitman2is now well known. Briefly, it has been found that there are regularly recurring periods of sleep which are physiologically unique, showing a characteristic EEG pattern ( Stage 1) together with bursts of bilaterally synchronous, conjugate, rapid vertical and horizontal eye movements (REMs),*and that this physiological pattern is highly correlated with the sleeper's recall of detailed dream experiences. There are generally four or five such periods in an average night's sleep, dreaming taking up 20%-25% of the total sleep time. Further, the cyclic pattern of dreaming has been found to be relatively fixed and stable and universally present in the thousands of subjects that have by now been investigated in numerous laboratories. Fig 1 is a schematic representation of the dream-sleep cycle of a young adult, showing five REM dream-periods in an

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
