Jakarta –
Embryo growth in the womb is getting faster before delivery. Besides being able to hear and see, the fetus turns out to have a sleep cycle and can dream, you know, Mother.
Just like a newborn, the fetus will spend most of its time sleeping. Quotes ParentsThe fetus will spend about 90 to 95 percent of its time sleeping every day starting at 32 weeks of gestation. Approaching delivery, the fetus sleeps 80 to 90 percent in the womb.
From this entire sleep cycle, the fetus will sleep soundly, sleeping in REM condition (rapid eye movement), and several hours of sleep in an erratic state. During REM sleep, his eyeballs will begin to move like an adult’s eye.
Not only sleep, some scientists even believe that the fetus can dream while sleeping. Just like stone babies are born, they may dream about what they feel in the womb.
In the comments at Science Daily explained that around the age of seven months pregnancy, REM or fetal eye movements are first seen.
REM sleep is usually characterized by increased breathing, blood pressure, and heart rate. The eye organs will also move quickly as if they are awake. At this stage, we usually start dreaming, Mother.
“The developing embryo’s brain appears to cycle every 20 to 40 minutes between REM sleep, where brain activity counters consciousness, and non-REM sleep, where the brain rests,” the review said.
However, it is difficult to imagine what the fetus goes through during its sleep cycle. But at the very least, this could explain the origin of a person’s sleep.
“Sleep cannot suddenly develop from a resting brain. Sleep and changes in state during this period are an actively regulated process,” said one of the researchers, Karin Schwab.
So far, research on sleep cycle fetus is still limited. However, a sleeping fetus is believed to be able to dream during the REM stage.
Then is it confirmed that the fetus that does not move is sleeping, Mother?
