"The second part of the cycle is REM sleep. Passing through these four stages of NREM sleep takes about an hour," explains Dr Lee. "Stage four is called deep sleep because it is the hardest part of the sleep cycle to wake anyone up. People who have disrupted sleep often have less deep sleep, because they don't reach the latter stages of NREM so often.
That's because, Dr Lee says, there are two stages of sleep: "Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep which accounts for 75% of sleep, and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep which makes up the other 25%," she explains. However, few of us manage to achieve this regularly. The dream situation (excuse the pun) is to be the type of person who falls asleep quickly, and not disturb until the next morning. We must ensure we get the right amount of sleep, but also that our sleep has the right quality." Why do we have broken sleep, and how does it happen? In a lifetime, we spend around one-third of our lives asleep. "Many people do not realise sleep is just as necessary for survival as the need for food and water. "Sleep is not just a trivial pastime, it’s essential for a healthy mind and body," Dr Deborah Lee, GP at Dr Fox Online Pharmacy tells Cosmopolitan. Tossing and turning all night can often leave you feeling worse - so what can you do to ensure that the time you are asleep is regenerating and refreshing as much as possible? While getting a solid eight hours might be easier for many of us due to the pandemic, there's no guarantee that more sleep = quality sleep. A spa weekend or great yoga class is all well and good, but the effects of sleeping deeply are unparalleled. Dr Venn offers some of the best expertise you can access in the UK, in my opinion.There's nothing quite like waking up feeling fresh after a long, deep sleep. Over the last few years, I have spent many hours reading about sleep apnea and learning about the treatment options. For anyone struggling with their CPAP treatment or considering treatment for snoring or poor sleep quality, I can highly recommend a consultation with Sussex Sleep Services. I finally got answers to questions and discussed all my options in an open and relaxed consultation. Although the pandemic restricted the meeting to Zoom with Dr Venn, we went through my medical history and my experience of CPAP for a whole hour. For the first time since my original diagnosis, I had the opportunity to discuss my treatment thoroughly. I decided to take control of my treatment and seek expert advice. CPAP treatment is essential for some patients to treat their condition, but the advantages were more nuanced for me. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea four years ago and have struggled with using the CPAP treatment since then. So thank you all for your support and reassurance throughout a very stressful few days. Finally, Dr Venn rang to discuss the results with me, which thankfully were very positive. A sleep assessment was set up and took place within 48 hours. He answered all my questions and was very supportive.
Dr Venn was very reassuring and carefully went through all my medical history. Dr Venn's secretary, Karen, was extremely helpful and a video consultation was booked with Dr Venn for the next day.
