Abstract

This article explores how variations in sleep architecture—specifically REM and non-REM sleep cycles—affect emotional regulation in adolescents. Using polysomnography data from 150 teenagers, the study reveals that adequate REM sleep is crucial for maintaining emotional stability and reducing susceptibility to mood disorders. These findings advocate for the prioritization of healthy sleep habits in youth development programs and mental health interventions.
