Hail Sleep: Goodbye REM and Slow Wave.

摘要

Due credit has not been given to the negative results found by studies that try to relate the kind of sleep deprivation to the kind of performance impairment. There really is little evidence that REM deprivation or Slow Wave sleep deprivation produces much impairment; certainly there is no statistically significant differential impairment. The amount of sleep matters, but the kind of sleep makes little difference. (Author)
