University of California Psychologist William Fishbein has found that laboratory mice taught to expect electric shocks at the end of laboratory alleyways develop amnesia about their painful experience after they have been deprived of REM sleep. It is now provable that the more advanced a creature is, the more it can learn-and the more REM sleep it has. Humans in infancy, learning more intensely than they ever will again because everything is new to them, spend 50% of their sleep...
