A member asked:
Is supressing rem sleep better for good sleep ? do dreams occur in this stage ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No way: Absolutely not. Rem sleep is extremely important. That is when most of your brain rehabilitation and memory formation occurs. Suppressing rem sleep can result in mental and physical problems. Dreaming occurs during this time as well.

For the past 4 or 5 nights I've been able to recall up to 7 dreams vividly from each night? What does this mean? Am I sleeping better with more REM?
Weird question but is it possible to remain in the REM stage for the entirety of sleep? Even when I am gently woken up, the gentle piano alarm incorporates itself into my dreaming, and when I go back to sleep a dream can start almost immediately?
What stage of sleep actually makes you feel most rested? I heard REM but when I have dreams those are my worst sleeps???
