the claim

Morning erections are linked to REM sleep and are unrelated to sexual dreams.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that morning erections are linked to REM sleep and are unrelated to sexual dreams?

Unclear. One exploratory case-control study reports that sleep-related painful erections occur predominantly during REM sleep, and a circadian study reports REM sleep peaks in the early morning. Neither addresses whether morning erections are unrelated to sexual dreams, so the dream-independence half of the claim is unsupported.
