The brain triages emotions during dream sleep. It consolidates the storage of positive emotions while dampening negative emotions.
On this episode of River to River, host Ben Kieffer discusses this and other new sleep research with neurologist Dr. Eric Dyken of the University of Iowa and the VA Hospital Sleep Laboratory. Kieffer and Dr. Dyken also hear sleep experiences from listeners – good, bad, and dreamy - and answer questions about how to achieve a better night’s rest.
