A member asked:
Have been off mobic (meloxicam) & melatonin b/c of upcoming surgery. does one of these suppress rem sleep? i'm now dreaming alot & having more restorative sleep.

REM sleep: Neither of those medications is thought to suppress REM sleep. In fact, melatonin has been shown in human trials to increase REM sleep. See your sleep specialist for discussion. http://press.endocrine.org/doi/abs/10.1210/jc.2002-021057 , http://www.chronobiology.ch/wp-content/uploads/publications/Cajochen_AJP_97.pdf
