The Role of Rapid Eye Movement Sleep in Language Learning and Retention

As a language enthusiast, I've recently delved into the fascinating connection between Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep and language learning. It turns out that REM sleep plays a crucial role in consolidating our newly acquired linguistic skills, making it a vital component for effectively learning and retaining a new language. Moreover, studies have shown that the more time we spend in REM sleep, the better our ability to recall and apply these skills.
