Yes, REM is like the Netflix of your brain where all the wild, high-budget dreams are broadcasted. If you are dreaming about flying on a pressure cooker, you are definitely in deep REM sleep.

Absolutely. Getting good REM sleep is very important because lack of deep sleep can actually affect our morning blood sugar levels and overall metabolic health.

From what I have researched about sleep hygiene, vivid dreams are indeed most common during REM sleep. Keeping a steady sleep schedule really helps regulate these cycles better.
