Polyphasic schedules, which reduce sleep hours, often rely on the SOREM mechanism, which is an abnormally rapid transition from wakefulness to REM sleep, skipping the period of non-REM sleep that normally characterizes the beginning of the sleep period.<ref>(2009) Sleep-onset REM Period. In: Binder M.D., Hirokawa N., Windhorst U. (eds) Encyclopedia of Neuroscience. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-29678-2_5445 </ref> 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.
