Explanation:
REM sleep, also known as Rapid Eye Movement is one of the stages of sleep in which, depending on the depth of sleep, there is a loss of coordination of the muscle movement of the eyes. Usually, this stage of sleep requires a certain amount of time to happen, since it is a deep state, but in REM rebound what we have is a person who has been deprived of REM sleep for a period of time, and who, after finally falling asleep will experience lenghtier and much more frequent episodes of REM sleep than those who haven´t. As the term "rebound" involves, it is like the body comes back from its forced lack of proper rest and as retribution prolongues these periods to accomplish the needed rest.
