The reading passage argues that there are three benefits of REM sleep to our physical and mental health. On the other hand, the lecturer opposes the ideas in the reading by proposing several counterarguments.

First of all, the lecturer contends that it is unclear whether REM sleep is closely connected to brain function such as learning and memory. He explains that other sleep stages also play important roles in collecting data and storing it in long-term memory. In addition, REM stage does not fully explain the complexity of brain function. This undermines the author’s claim that the REM stage plays an important role in storing data.

Secondly, the professor asserts that the REM stage does not always relieve people’s stress or concerns. The reason is that there are a lot of different dream experiences that people face. Some may have pleasant dreams, while others may experience distressing dreams. Therefore, dreaming can sometimes make someone’s mood worse. This contradicts the author’s assertion that dreaming improves people’s emotional well-being.

Finally, the speaker refutes the idea that maintaining a regular sleep pattern with REM is necessary. He states that no study proves people with regular sleeping patterns have higher energy levels than those without. As a result, maintaining a healthy sleep pattern is not necessary for staying in high energy levels or increasing productivity. This goes against the writer’s view that maintaining a healthy sleep cycle through REM stage is crucial.
