NOTE

+25 min on wake up 4 more REM

To enhance REM sleep without pharmacological intervention, extending sleep duration by just 15 to 25 minutes later in the morning is effective. This approach focuses on maximizing REM sleep, which occurs more abundantly towards the end of the sleep cycle rather than at the beginning. Instead of adding extra time to the beginning of your sleep, shifting your wake-up time later allows for more opportunities to enter the REM-rich phase. Understanding the distribution of sleep stages reinforces the importance of timing to achieve improved REM sleep quality.
