:) Almost every night i dream. Last time when I was in school, I used to tell my classmates how many hours i spent dreaming in my sleep. They will say "Wah..how you know". And I will answer: I know lah..I go back to sleep after going to the toilet in the middle of the night, and when I wake up while dreaming, i know very well I started dreaming since the 'toilet time' & they believed me these whole time Hahaha.
I've been very inquisitive of how this dream thing work, whether it will make me more tired when i wake up. So today. I did a bit of research on it and look what i found.
Let me summarize:-
Stage 1 (Drowsiness) - This lasts just five or ten minutes. You are easily awakened when you are disturbed by something.
Stage 2 (Light Sleep) - Eye movements top, heart rate slows, and body temperature decreases
Stages 3 & 4 (Deep Sleep) - You’re difficult to awaken, and if you are awakened, you do not adjust immediately and often feel groggy and disoriented for several minutes. Deep sleep allows the brain to go on a little vacation needed to restore the energy we expend during our waking hours.
REM sleep (Dream Sleep) - At about 70 to 90 minutes into your sleep cycle, you enter REM sleep. You usually have three to five REM episodes per night. This stage is associated with processing emotions, retaining memories and relieving stress. Males may have penile erections, and females may have clitoral enlargement.
Well i didn't know that 'REM sleep' happens few times in a sleep. No wonder I've been dreaming so much in my sleeps. According to research, dreaming contributes in a good way to a human being. It stabilizes emotions and give you a happier mood when you wake up. However for some because their hearts are so troubled, they easily get affected with bad dreams and in the end wake up feeling hopeless.
Back to my question, a few answered that when you're in 'REM' (dream sleep), you have actually entered a good sleep. So it would not tire you, but for some they said the opposite.
SOOOooo..
Whats the ANSWER MAN!
A piece of advice: Sleep at least 7-8 hours per day. Because all the stages of sleeps happens to everyone regardless how many hours you sleep. So when you sleep early, you balance out all the stages and you wont feel tired the next morning even though you dream/don't dream. EVERYONE DREAMS IN EVERY SLEEPS whether u realize it a not :)
