REM Sleep: Dreams and Other Stage-Specific Effects

Let's talk REM sleep. There are five different stages of sleep including both REM and NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep. The five stages make one sleep cycle which usually repeat every 90 to 110 minutes. If you develop a sleep schedule and create an ideal environment for resting your head, your mind and body will thank you in the morning. We also suggest not drinking caffeine later in the day and no alcohol at night as this greatly effects your sleep cycle. #Sloom | Sloom
