People say time can heal all wounds. It turned out to be true. Recent research from the University of California, Berkeley, indicates that the length of time dreaming while sleeping can overcome the painful suffering.
UC Berkeley researchers found that, during the dream phase of sleep, or rapid eye movement sleep (REM), when the eyes move quickly when you sleep, stress chemicals extinguished and the brain processes emotional experiences as well as erode the painful memory.
These findings offer an interesting explanation about why people who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder, traumatic events, such as war veterans, found it difficult to recover from the experience that made him depressed and repeatedly haunted by nightmares. This study also offers an answer to why we dream.
"Dream stage of sleep, based on its neurochemical composition is unique, providing a kind of therapy throughout the night, a soothing balm to get rid of all the things sharply from the previous day's emotional experience," said Matthew Walker, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the university were involved in study published in the journal Current Biology.
For patients with post-traumatic stress, tonight therapy may not work effectively. "So when a flashback, for example, triggered by a burst tire, they have back all the horrible experiences because emotions are not properly removed from memory during sleep," Walker said.
The results of this study offer a variety of information about the emotional functions of REM sleep, which typically accounted for 20 percent of sleep time of a healthy human being. Previous brain studies indicate that healthy sleep patterns that do not function properly in people who suffer from disorders such as trauma and depression. *** [SCIENCEDAILY | KORAN TEMPO 3720]
