REM Sleep - How Much Sleep Do You Need

When you wake up in the morning, how do you feel?
Do you feel refreshed and ready to go?
Or do you feel sluggish and groggy, and maybe even grumpy?

And this stat right here is crazy:
According to the CDC,
Only 1/3rd of adults get the recommended minimum of seven or more hours of sleep every night.

The most common reason for this is trouble falling or staying asleep, aka insomnia.

This could be related to stress. It can also be related to too much caffeine (coffee) or alcohol or side effects from medication. It could also be related to other habits that you don't even realize.

But other medical conditions could be the root cause of the problem, like sleep apnea and depression.

Not getting good sleep takes its toll on your overall well-being and hugely impacts your productivity.

And not getting good sleep impacts your life in so many ways.

Some takeaways from this video:
1. Deep sleep, which occurs in Non-REM sleep, is essential for body repair.
2. REM sleep is essential for learning, memory formation, and optimal brain power.
3. To maximize deep sleep and REM sleep duration, you need at least 7-8 hours per night.
4. Your internal clock is regulated by external factors like light. If you can, follow your internal clock, which means go to bed when it's it's dark and wake up when it's daylight.
5. Average amount of sleep for teenagers | Amount of sleep for teenager | Amount of sleep a teenager needs

There is way more to sleep than I covered in this video.

If you haven't already, make sure "o check out my video "The 6 Keys "o a Great Night Sleep."
This way, you can maximize your chances of getting enough REM and non-REM deep sleep every night to get you at your peak performance.

I find it ironic that the medical profession has the science to correlate sleep with performance, yet the culture of the medical industry makes it difficult for it's workers to get good sleep because of the schedules that are encouraged or sometimes mandatory. Nurses taking long double shifts, hospital doctors working for 24 hours at a time, and residents doing extra long work weeks, etc.

It’s ironic that I’m watching this at 4am while I can’t sleep 😓

I love how Dr. Mike’s intro is silent.
Just awesome. Especially when you wake up at 2:30 am and decide to watch it.
Btw I’m 36 and yesterday I was about to make a phone call but I fell asleep at 7 pm holding my phone. 😅

I had issues getting 7-8 hours of sleep up until about 2 months ago when my new psychiatrist looked at the notes from my previous psychiatrist about my sleep issues and prescribed me an antipsychotic medication called Risperdal which has mild sedative effects. I have Bipolar 2 disorder and the biggest issue I had falling asleep was struggling with racing thoughts that prevented me from falling asleep. Since I started taking the Risperdal I have been getting 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I actually get up around 6-7 in the morning without feeling tired which is a whole new experience for me and I am starting to feel healthier! Well except this past week. I'm battling a respiratory illness right now and the cough medication is making it hard for me to sleep...ugh. But I can definitely say from experience that getting the right amount of sleep does benefit us all like the doctor says.

On my third CPAP machine. Seeing a sleep clinic and a pulmonary doctor saved my lively hood as a semi driver and improved my health. Diet, exercise and quality sleep! 2020 was good!

I guess I am one of the 1/3 of adults that gets seven plus hours of sleep every night. I actually function best when I get eight hours of sleep at night.

Question? I work in sleep medicine and I’ve never understood why we prescribe SSRIs when they clearly delay REM onset, snd yet that’s what people with depression need. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Technique to sleep easily: Don't think of someone but something...like a scenery or view. In my case I'm thinking of the beach with the sound of the waves. Surprisingly, it works all the time. 😘

And then there those of us who experience conscious sleep, stages out of order, and both narcolepsy and insomnia. Oh the things most people take for granted ...a good nite's sleep!

For five years I couldn't sleep more than two hours at a time. I had to alternate sleep and waking all night. Then for three years I was able to sleep up to four hours at a time. Finally I could sleep six hours at once, for three years. Now I conk out for 12 hours at a time. I don't think that's probably good for me, but I'm so grateful for deep sleep I'll take it.
