Additionally, school feeding programs are increasingly being viewed as a potential safety net and as a social support measure that helps keep children in school.
The first REM sleep period usually occurs about 70 to 90 minutes after we fall asleep. A complete sleep cycle takes 90 to 110 minutes on average. The first sleep cycles each night contain relatively short REM periods and long periods of deep sleep.
These are called rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and non-rapid eye movement (Non-REM) sleep. In adults, non-REM sleep occupies around 80 percent of the night, and REM sleep 20 percent. However, REM sleep does not occur in one large block. Actually, we go into REM sleep in cycles of around 90 minutes. That is, REM sleep occurs around once every 90 minutes.
