Does having a baby monitor in your room affect your REM sleep and therefore cause mommy brain?

I think having a little is what causes mommy brain. But I do think there is an opposite effect with a monitor. I remember when my kids were babies, I would wait for the monitor to go off which would of course prevent any deep sleep. The monitor is designed to wake you from a deep sleep, but I think it also prevents a deep sleep for some parents. By the time my kids were 6 months old- that thing was back in the box. I could hear them just fine and they fell into the 80/20 rule for schedules.
