Impact of Sleep Stages on Memory Consolidation

Hard Unit 10: States Of Consciousness Sleep And Dreams

According to research on sleep architecture, sleep is structured into cycles that combine different stages, each serving distinct functions in physical and mental restoration. While REM sleep is known for its association with vivid dreaming, the influence of non-REM sleep stages, particularly Slow-Wave Sleep (SWS), is critical for various restorative processes. Which of the following statements accurately reflects the impact of these sleep stages on memory consolidation?

Only REM sleep is involved in consolidating procedural memories, while non-REM sleep only aids in consolidating declarative memories.

Both REM and non-REM sleep stages play significant roles in memory consolidation, with non-REM sleep being more beneficial for declarative memory.

Sleep deprivation affects only REM sleep, leading to a decrease in dream recall and no impact on memory performance.

Non-REM sleep has a negligible effect on all types of memory formation compared to the effect of waking hours.

Deep sleep is primarily beneficial for emotional intelligence but has little importance for logical reasoning memory.
