After REM debt is accumulated enough, it's common to have SOREM in the beginning of [[naps]] or [[cores]], especially close to the REM peak during the dawn hours, which is done by brain to alleviate REM pressure. SOREM is also common for [[wikipedia:Hypersomnia|hypersomniac]] and [[wikipedia:Narcolepsy|narcoleptic]] patients, who generally have excessive REM requirements. | After REM debt is accumulated enough, it's common to have SOREM in the beginning of [[Nap|naps]] or [[Core|cores]], especially close to the REM peak during the dawn hours, which is done by brain to alleviate REM pressure.
