Twelve subjects were awakened from REM and NREM sleep and tested on three tests designed to measure functions attributed to the left cerebral hemisphere and three tests designed to measure right hemisphere function. A significant shift in cognitive profile was found in the direction of tasks attributed to left hemisphere performance following waking from NREM sleep relative to waking from REM sleep. These results are consistent with the observed reciprocal oscillations between left and right functions during the waking period and imply that performance of these specialized functions may be controlled by some of the same mechanisms that govern biorhythms.
12名受试者分别从快速眼动（REM）睡眠和非快速眼动（NREM）睡眠中被唤醒，并接受了三项旨在测量左脑半球功能的测试以及三项旨在测量右脑半球功能的测试。相对于从快速眼动睡眠中醒来，从非快速眼动睡眠中醒来后，认知特征在归因于左半球表现的任务方向上出现了显著变化。这些结果与清醒期间左右脑功能之间观察到的相互振荡一致，并表明这些特定功能的表现可能受一些与调节生物节律相同的机制控制。
