all right i’m back again didn’t we just  uh meet yesterday well i’m back today for  

another presentation today we’re going  to talk about how to get more rem sleep  

normally a person will go through 90-minute cycles  of sleep okay between four and six of these cycles  

with different levels or stages more  deeper levels of sleep that’s called  

non-rem and then you have a superficial  level of sleep which is called  

rem now the non-rem sleep which is the deeper  delta wave sleep occurs more in the first  

half of the sleep and this is where you get body  repair you get detoxification you get rejuvenation  

you get more growth hormone stimulation but then  you have something called rem sleep okay what is  

rem sleep rem is the more superficial sleep it’s  the second half of your sleep and this is where  

most people have the problem so most people  get the first part of the sleep but they’re  

not getting that second half they’re not getting  that full rem sleep what’s very interesting about  

rem sleep is that the weight patterns or the brain  activity is almost identical to when you’re awake  

but you’re actually in this sleep state now you  would think if the brain activity is very similar  

to being awake and the rem sleep is actually using  sometimes even more energy than the awake state  

you might wake up from this dream state actually  exhausted and feeling like wow i just ran a  

marathon well that’s because you did your brain in  that rem state has actually used more energy which  

is pretty wild but here’s another interesting  thing about the rem stage you actually get more  

mental rejuvenation in the rem stage than you  do in the non-rem stage so in the non-rem stage  

you’re getting more physical rejuvenation  and the rem stage you’re getting more mental  

rejuvenations so you wake up feeling more mentally  rejuvenated more improved memory better learning  

interesting now in the rem stage you’re getting  low muscle tone you’re dreaming i just mentioned  

that you’re getting a massive stimulation the  brain stem that’s causing this state and you’re  

getting a lot of acetylcholine being pumped out  that’s a neurotransmitter that’s causing the state  

and you’re getting virtually no activation of the  serotonin or noradrenaline or adrenaline and in  

rem sleep you are more sensitive to temperature  so if the temperature is too cold or too hot  

that can inhibit that stage so now what does  all this mean what can we do with this data  

well number one we want to make sure that the  muscles around our brain stem are completely  

relaxed when we go to sleep i’m going to put a  video down below of how to achieve this you can  

either do this yourself with a a torture i mean  a treatment device like this putting this back  

in your neck these two little things right on the  back right underneath your your skull and lay back  

on a chair and let this device melt those muscles  around your brainstem or you can have someone  

press into the the point right underneath your  neck and i’ll put a video link down below to  

show you how to do that it’s a great way to relax  the muscles around the brainstem because if you go  

to sleep with all this tension in the upper part  of your neck it’s going to be very difficult all  

right number two you want to get your breathing  balanced and i’ve done videos on this what happens  

when you have difficulty sleeping is usually your  breathing is off usually your breathing is like

the inhalation is not the same as the  exhalation so you want to synchronize  

the two you want to breathe in three  four or five seconds and breathe out  

three four or five seconds make sure that they’re  equaled up sometimes it’ll be three seconds in  

three seconds out sometimes it’ll be four  seconds in four seconds out but you want to just  

focus on your breathing that will start to  send signals into the brainstem through the  

vagus nerve to help you get into this state all  right number three you want to adjust your blanket  

to make sure your temperature is correct i  know with my wife she needs a thicker blanket  

i use a thinner blanket sometimes  even a sheet all right number four  

you want to increase your acetylcholine how do you  do that vitamin b1 you can do nutritional yeast  

you can do other types of b1 make sure it’s  natural but take a little b1 before you go to bed  

b1 is very important in your sleep cycles  especially when you’re making acetylcholine  

and especially when you’ve been through a lot  of stress b1 counter stress b1 helps you counter  

nightmares anytime you have nightmares that means  you need more b1 all right number five stress  

stress is the biggest barrier to your sleep you’re  going to find out whatever’s behind the stress and  

deal with it do something to improve it because  the stress is the number one thing that will keep  

you out of both rem sleep and the non-rem sleep  anyway that’s my summary on how to get more rem  

sleep thanks for watching hey before you go if  you’re benefiting from any of my content i would  

love to hear about your success story  please share it in the link down below
