Is it true that jet lag can cause rem rebound? does that means that naps should be avoided?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Sleep deprivation may cause REM rebound, whether it is due to jet lag or not. Naps kept to 20 minutes can prevent REM rebound and disruption of sleep architecture.

How do you know if you are going into REM sleep. I do not feel like I am, I wake multiple times a night, have trouble falling asleep, I'm tired, weak.
