Rem Cycles During Insomnia

Daniel Erichsen
About this episode

In this episode of Insomnia Insight, Coach Daniel addresses misconceptions about REM sleep and sleep cycles. Prompted by a viewer's question, he explains that idealized sleep patterns are unrealistic and unnecessary for feeling refreshed. Drawing from his experience as a sleep doctor, Coach Daniel emphasizes that the quality of our sleep and how we feel during the day are not dictated by specific sleep cycles.
