Sleep Stages

• Understanding REM Sleep

REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is a crucial stage where dreaming occurs and the brain processes emotions and memories. It plays a key role in cognitive function, learning, and emotional regulation, making it essential for mental health.

• Non-REM Sleep and Its Importance

Non-REM sleep consists of three stages, each essential for physical restoration and deep rest. It helps with tissue repair, muscle growth, and immune function, ensuring the body recovers and rejuvenates overnight.

• The Sleep Cycle

The sleep cycle includes both REM and non-REM stages, repeating throughout the night. Each cycle lasts about 90 minutes, and as the night progresses, REM stages become longer, ensuring both physical restoration and mental rejuvenation for overall well-being.
