|abstract=

With each flurry of rapid eye movements during the sleep of human subjects there is a decreased amplitude of respiration and a slight increase in rate. Occasionally the rhythmic breathing pattern may even resemble Cheyne-Stokes respiration. The consistency of this breathing pattern suggests that respiration in this stage of sleep is not a direct function of dream content.

*Rapid eye movements in sleep are accompanied by decreased depth and increased rate of breathing with a consistency of pattern that the author suggests cannot be explained by dream content.
