Intermittent Fasting and Sleep Stages
Sleep stages, including REM and deep sleep, can be influenced by intermittent fasting. Understanding these effects can help improve your sleep stages.
Effects on Sleep Stages
– Stage Distribution: Fasting can alter the distribution of sleep stages, potentially affecting both REM and deep sleep.
– Sleep Cycle Regulation: A consistent fasting routine may help regulate your sleep cycles.
USA-Based Recommendations
Many in the USA use polysomnography and sleep studies to assess these changes. Combining fasting with structured sleep habits can enhance sleep stages.
Optimizing Sleep Stages
– Track sleep stages with specialized devices.
– Maintain a regular fasting schedule.
