I've been having trouble sleeping lately. What's the importance of REM sleep?

REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is crucial for brain function and memory consolidation. It helps process and store memories, and a lack of REM sleep can affect mood, concentration, and overall well-being.

Is there a way to improve my REM sleep quality?

Yes, establishing a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine and electronics before bedtime, and creating a relaxing sleep environment can all help improve REM sleep quality.
assistant
What's a good amount of sleep to aim for each night?

Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night, including 90-120 minutes of REM sleep, which typically occurs in 3-5 cycles throughout the night.
