Case: Some factors that influence our sleep quality are heredity, stress levels, and our emotional state. Sleep deprivation leads to significant decline in cognitive and intellectual functioning, and negatively affects our mood, alertness, and performance. REM-sleep appears to aid in learning and memory. Following REM deprivation, people experience REM-sleep rebound - an increase in the percentage of REM-sleep experienced.
