Did they test young adults with smaller REM sleep.

Did they test young adults with a smaller amount of REM sleep? Did that have any effect? Otherwise all they got was that older people remember less things (Dugh). Lack of REM sleep is just another thing they noticed. One does not necessarily have anything to do with the other.
This is a pretty basic idea here.

That would be a valid comment, except for the fact that the correlation between deep sleep and memory transfer is already known and proven.

You can test this yourself. Memorize something, and then get horribly drunk before going to sleep. Try to remember whatever you memorized on the day after.
