Hi guys,
since some months I'm experiencing high REM sleep and low deep sleep. Not only anecdotal, also my tracker is confirming this, even if deep sleep seems to be within normal ranges.
I have no problems in falling asleep and, while I don't get up frequently, dreams (they are not nightmares) are disturbing my sleep, thus I'm waking up not fully refreshed.
Often I'm having a quick nap (not more that 30min) after lunch - it's an habit I developed during college. The odd thing is that also in this case I dream - I'm wondering how is it possible to dream in such a short amount of time.
I suspect that the culprit might be the usage of an antihistamine (ebastine), which I'm taking in the morning, prescribed by a specialist for treating itch related to an autoimmune skin disease (lichen).
Is there any supplement that can help in increasing deep sleep, or at least reducing REM?
Hoping that also @Hans would chime in.
Thanks everybody!
