Erin Wamsley

Erin Wamsley is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Furman University in the United States. She is known for her research on sleep and dreaming, particularly the factors that influence dream recall. Wamsley has conducted studies indicating that while most people experience dreams, the ability to remember them varies greatly among individuals. Her work emphasizes the importance of the sleep phase during which one awakens, as well as the cognitive processes involved in recalling dreams. In a recent news article, she discussed how sleep patterns, physiological conditions, and attention to dreams upon waking can significantly affect dream memory.
