Interesting. Yeah. You can produce an almost instintanious antidepresant effect in some of the most severly depressed individuals just by wakening them every time they begin to enter REM sleep. They knew this way back in the 70's.
Perhaps certain aspects of memory are consolidated during REM sleep. Ie perhaps mood related memory is processed during REM sleep.
