    After going through stages of REM-sleep, people with depression report feeling better, in a study done by Cartwright et al. [40] Conversely, a theory proposed by Revonsuo [41] states that when people experience negative emotions or negative events, when they sleep the REM-sleep replays such events, which is known as rehearsal.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_self-regulation

    Sleep plays a role in emotion regulation, although stress and worry can also interfere with sleep. Studies have shown that sleep, specifically REM sleep, down-regulates reactivity of the amygdala, a brain structure known to be involved in the processing of emotions, in response to previous emotional experiences. [54]

Sleep enhances the consolidation of the high valence and arousing words and therefore these are remembered more post-sleep.

    The ontogeny of sleep is the study of sleep across different age groups of a species, particularly during development and aging. Among mammals, infants sleep the longest. [44] Human babies have 8 hours of REM sleep and 8 hours of NREM sleep on an average.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_stress_and_Sleep

    In fact, many studies have found a bidirectional relationship between stress and sleep. This means that sleep quality can affect stress levels, and stress levels can affect sleep quality. Sleep change depends on the type of stressor, sleep perception, related psychiatric conditions, environmental factors, and physiological limits. [5] [6] [4] [7]

  9. Emotional bias - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_bias

    Emotional attention bias can be influenced by sleep. Studies have been performed and have shown that sleep deprivation in children reduces their ability to adjust their behavior in emotional situations. Children showed high emotional attention biases when deprived of sleep. This occurs because sleep prepares the body for emotional challenges. [7]
