R.E.M. SLEEP

REM sleep is vital for our physical and mental well-being, accounting for about 9.2% of our sleep and increasing significantly during recovery. This phase helps in memory consolidation, energy restoration, and supports overall daytime performance. While infants require 14-16 hours of sleep to thrive, adults need 8-9 hours. Each sleep stage serves a purpose: NREM for deep restoration, and REM for brain activity and dreaming. Understanding these stages highlights the necessity of prioritizing quality sleep for long-term health benefits.
