A member asked:
Can you tell me how to decrease my amount of rem sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why: Why would anyone want to so this? It's unnatural. But most meds decrease rem sleep and if you woke yourself up every hour you'd probably decrease it somewhat. Regardless i wouldn't advise it.
