How much deep, light and REM sleep do you need?
If you get the recommended amount of sleep—seven to nine hours a night—you'll spend one-third of your time asleep. While that may seem like a long time, your mind and body are busy during that time so you can stay productive, energized, and healthy during your waking hours. Sleep is divided into five stages, alternating between non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM), including drowsiness, light sleep, moderate to deep sleep, deep sleep, and dreaming. Experts recommend adults get 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. New research aims to determine not just how much total sleep you need, but how much sleep you need in each sleep stage.
