REM Sleep - The Sequel

More than enough time has passed since I promised to be back with the rest of the rest story on REM...

REM Sleep
You may be saying that you get sleep at night with the aid of your sleeping pills. However, most prescription sleeping medications alter the sleep cycle and suppress the all important REM sleep. You may also wonder why your weight loss is not going so well. Keep reading.

REM or Rapid Eye Movement sleep is the deepest cycle of sleep lasting about 10 minutes. The body goes through stages of sleep to get to REM and then cycles back through these stages. REM sleep occurs more in the morning hours than earlier in the night. This is why going to be at very late (or early a.m.) hours can also deprive you of REM sleep. Before your body can 'get to' those deep cycles of sleep, it's time to get up again.

People who are lacking REM sleep:
# are irritable and tired
# become depressed
# become aggressive
# become angry
# become restless
# tend to put on more weight
# have difficulty losing weight

Simply stated, sleeping pills steal your REM sleep. You begin to feel so bad that you take more and more, convinced that you need these pills more than ever! The cycle gets worse and worse.

It's the best weight loss tip around! And the most relaxing! Whoever thought that you could sleep a few pounds away!?

Get your sleep the natural way. You will be rewarded over time and your weight loss efforts will begin to pay off. Remember that weight loss is multifactorial. Keep exercising and watching your diet as well.
