I have no problem falling a sleep, however i don't ever seem to get any rem sleep (deep sleep).
does anyone know of anything over the counter that improves the quality of sleep.
I hear gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) improves the quality of sleep.
I was wondering if anyone has tried this or has any suggestions.
I really don't want any prescription drugs, i would prefer a natural remedy.
My cpap pressure is 10

non-REM stages 3 & 4 are considered "deep sleep" and are different than REM which stands alone.

which are you not getting deep sleep or REM?

If you are not getting REM it usually means arousals of some sort are causing you to bounce back to other non-REM stages.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the nervous systems of widely divergent species. It is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate central nervous system.
