Regularly occurring periods of eye motility, and concomitant phenomena, during sleep
Aserinsky and Kleitman, Science 118(3062), 1953, 273-274. 20 adult volunteers across several experiments, eye movements and brain waves recorded. Eye-movement periods began about 3 hours after sleep onset, lasted 6 to 53 minutes, average 20. Awakenings during them: 20 of 27 interviews gave detailed dream reports; after long quiet stretches 19 of 23 gave no recall.
