Significance of Reduced REM sleep latency
I was recently found through a sleep study to have reduced sleep latency and reduced REM sleep latency. The study was initiated because I felt that, despite getting "enough" hours of sleep, I was somehow not getting sufficient deep, restorative sleep. I was also aware of waking frequently from dreams that seemed to be occurring more often than anticipated (so I suspected more time in REM sleep than normal). Could you please discuss the significance of reduced REM sleep latency and how to address it? Of note, I was on the OCP at the time of the study (now off), which I understand can contribute to reduced REM sleep latency.
Episode on Type 2 Diabetes
With your great choice on topics I was hoping you would have an episode, or multiple on type 2 diabetes. With how many people it impacts, and the vast amounts of information about its causes, and treatments I would think there is a huge value in having it as a topic in the future. Thanks for all the wonderful information and protocols thus far!
