Is rapid eye movement good sleep?

I've been struggling with sleep lately and trying to improve my sleep hygiene. I often hear about REM sleep. Does having a lot of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep mean I'm getting good quality sleep overall?

Yes, REM sleep is very good for your mind and memory. Don't worry too much about the scientific terms, just focus on relaxing your mind before bed. I hope you get restful sleep tonight.

At Kokilaben Hospital, the doctors explained to me that REM sleep is absolutely essential for brain health and emotional processing. It is a very good and necessary part of your sleep cycle. If you feel like your sleep quality is poor, please consult a specialist.

REM sleep is the MVP of your sleep cycle, it is when you get to dream about being a superhero! So yes, it is very good sleep. Without it, your brain would feel like an unorganized computer, so let those eyes roll!

REM sleep is very important, but I ignored my lack of proper sleep for years thinking it was just stress. It eventually led to severe chronic fatigue. If you are waking up tired despite spending hours in bed, please get a professional sleep study done.
