Movement (NREM) or "Non-REM" sleep. 3...In humans each sleep cycle lasts on average 90 to 110 minutes, with a greater amount of stage 3 (N3) early in the night and more REM later in the night. [Each phase may have a distinct physiological function. Drugs such as sleeping pills and alcoholic beverages can suppress certain stages of sleep, leading to sleep deprivation.] 4...The optimal amount of sleep is not a meaningful concept unless the timing of that sleep is seen in relation to an individual's circadian rhythms. 5...A person's major sleep episode is relatively inefficient and inadequate when it occurs at the "wrong" time
of day. 6...The National Sleep Foundation in the United States maintains that seven to nine hours of sleep for adult humans is optimal and that sufficient sleep benefits alertness, memory and problem solving, and overall health, as well as reducing the risk of accidents. ......So now you know............. |
