Thank you Valentine for bringing science to the day again!
> Valentine will find that the song becomes less effective over time. It will be most effective for five hours before it will become increasingly less helpful. Over the next hour it will go from full use to half as useful. It will be half as useful again in a half hour. This rate of effect will increase without ever being fully blocked out but it won't help much at all by the seventh hour.
> It takes about twenty hours before it to become effective again.
> Analysis of the brain waves of participants will show that the nightmares occur during the short wave phases between different stages of sleep associated with night terrors. The parts of their brains for higher functions will be less active at this time. The Song keeps brain waves in the stages associated with REM sleep. Valentine will be able to see that the nightmare dreamscape pushes the brainwaves out of REM and back into the night terror stage.
> If Valentine experiments with other methods that counter the nightmares she will find that changing methods works! That is if she starts with the Song then switches to Sorey's purification she'll be able to keep the participant in REM sleep. The purification will lose power at the same rate starting from a point of maximum effectiveness. The same will be true with any other method that works!
