What stages of sleep refresh you?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stages3&4: The stages that provide the deepest and most restful sleep are stages 3 and 4. Over the counter sleep aides interfere with these stages of sleep so you might sleep 8 hours but wake up tired because you missed stages3& 4.
