Is rem deep sleep?

Question

I've been trying to understand more about sleep cycles to improve my rest. I keep hearing about REM sleep and deep sleep. I'm a bit confused, is REM deep sleep, or are they different stages?

Rajesh Mishra · Accepted Answer

No, they are different. REM is dreaming sleep, and deep sleep is physical rest. Drinking warm turmeric milk before bed helped me get better deep sleep, but if you are constantly waking up tired, it is best to see a doctor for a proper sleep study.

Haan na, many people get confused between these two! Actually, REM sleep and deep sleep are totally different stages of our sleep cycle. REM is when we dream and our brain is very active, while deep sleep is when the body actually repairs itself.

Sneha Roy · Answer

I recently had a sleep tracker study done by my doctor because I was always exhausted. He explained that REM and deep sleep are completely separate. Deep sleep happens more in the first half of the night, while REM happens more towards the morning.

No, they are different phases. Deep sleep is when your muscles recover and growth hormone is released, which is huge for fitness. REM is more about mental recovery. Both are key, so make sure you get 7-8 hours of solid rest.

They are different stages. As a diabetic, I have to monitor my sleep closely because poor deep sleep directly affects my morning blood sugar levels. Both REM and deep sleep are important, but deep sleep is crucial for metabolic recovery.
