Previous research has shown that learning of procedural tasks enhance REM sleep. An experiment in which eleven subjects either learned a motor task or engaged in a control task was carried out in a balanced within-design to investigate whether motor learning would affect sleep. An initial laboratory adaptation night and two experimental nights were consecutive. The results indicate that learning a motor task exerts no effect on REM sleep parameters and, therefore, the results do no support the hypothesis that learning a procedural skill is related to an increase in REM sleep parameters. One might speculate that the motor learning was not intense enough in comparison to other studies. In ...
