The muscles associated with breathing are not paralyzed, but breathing in REM is shallower and more rapid.he first REM period happens 70 to 90 minutes after sleep onset. At first these REM episodes are short (a few minutes), but as the night progresses, they become longer. Most REM sleep is late in the main sleep period (close to morning). A typical adult spends about an hour and a half every night in REM.
