A good night’s sleep is always refreshing, and it can go way
beyond your mental faculties. Scientific evidences display that a quality REM
sleep is vital in recovering from almost any given traumatic experiences.
During such a type of sleep, the release of stress hormones dramatically decreases. It is believed that the processing mechanism
of the brain of painful memories with the absence of such chemicals allow their
emotional sting to be decreased as well. The memories become more factual, less
immediate, and thus, less painful.
