Increasing REM sleep

Post by Wantok » Wed Sep 18, 2019 5:17 pm

Any suggestions besides melatonin or pink noise to increase REM? I'm using marijuana to sleep and it is definitely helping but decreases REM, I have heard. Thanks.

The best way to improve your quality of sleep including REM sleep is to reset your circadian rhythm.

It appears that irradiation from light can influence the circadian rhythm in the body.
