Study design and memory task. A, There were four groups. For the Sleep and Wake groups, the Encoding and Recognition Phases were separated by 12 h. The Morning and Evening control groups performed these phases within a session, ∼45 min apart. B, The task was an incidental memory task. During the Encoding Phase, participants viewed 60 pictures and rated the valence and arousal of each picture. During the Recognition Phase, participants viewed 60 target pictures intermingled with 120 foil pictures. Following the presentation of each picture, participants rated valence and arousal and made a yes/no memory judgment.

Performance and sleep physiology measures. A, Hit rate in Session 2. B, ΔValence was computed as the SAM Valence ratings for Session 2 minus SAM valence ratings for Session 1. C, ΔArousal was computed as the SAM Arousal rating for Session 2 minus SAM Arousal rating for Session 1 (error bars indicate SE). D, Relationship between REM and ΔValence was significant. The percentage of the third quarter of the night spent in REM (REM3%) negatively correlated with ΔValence for negative items.
