How Much REM Sleep Do You Need? Here’s How To Get Enough

So, the best at-home REM sleep measurement may simply be how you feel. Bhopal suggests asking yourself a few questions: Do you feel rested after a night of sleep? Do you feel like you’re functioning well during the day? Do you feel like you’re able to regulate your emotions, that you’re not too irritable or snappy, and that you’re not making careless mistakes at work due to a lack of sleep? If you answer yes, there’s a good chance you’re getting enough sleep, including REM sleep.
