Everything about Rapid Eye Movement

What is a Rapid Eye Movement or REM?

Not just a band from the 80's it's also a phase of your sleep pattern; when your eyes go all flickery! REM Sleep happens throughout the night, starting off in short snatches of about 5 to 10 minutes, but getting longer throughout the period of sleep. It seems that most of our dreams take place during REM sleep. There are three recognised stages of sleep.
