when you fall asleep are there like different phases you go through? like light sleep, heavy sleep, etc. if so, what are they and how long is each?

Hello,

Following are the stage of sleep we have:

Stages of Sleep
Stage 1 (Drowsiness) – Our brain gives the signal to our heart to beat at a slower rate, give signal to our body for a drop in body temperature, to our muscles for a slow in muscle activity and our eyes to more slowly under the eyelids. During this stage, it takes about 5 – 10 minutes for us to fall asleep.

Stage 2 (Light Sleep) – After a while, we are in light sleep. Our heart beat has slows, body temperature has drops, muscles has slow and eyes movement has stop. We can be easily waken up during this stage.

Stage 3 (Slow Wave Sleep) – We are now in deeper sleep and cannot be waken up easily. Some people may have a sleepwalk while Children may experience bedwetting at this stage.

Stage 4 (Deep Sleep) – We are in deepest sleep and is very difficult to wake up at this stage. If being awaken, we can be confused and disoriented for a few minutes.

Stage 5 (REM Sleep or Dream Sleep) – REM stand for rapid eye movement. We enter into REM Sleep after 90 minutes in our sleep cycle. Our eyes will move back and forth rapidly beneath our eyelids, our heart will beat faster and breathe less regularly. We can have 2 – 5 REM every night. We dream during REM sleep.

For myself, I am doing some research and studies on sleep, if you would like to see my further information on Sleep problem, feel free to visit

Clean up your diet.

Sleep disorders can stem from a poor diet causing inflamation in the body, which will cause you to toss and turn and not sleep well, or have delayed REM sleep. Poor diet can also lead to things like candida/yeast infections, intestinal flora imbalance (IE: bacterial dysbiosis), and imbalance in brain chemicals necessary for effective sleep.

Cut out the carbs, sugars, caffeine, alcohol from your diet. 1/2 of everything you eat should be green veggies. Eat good protein, like eggs, beef, salmon, and eat good fats, like nuts & advocado. Don't eat anything after 6pm (some folks toss and turn on a full stomach). Take a multi-vitamin daily.

If you follow this diet for about a week or two, and don't see improvement, then go see your doctor.

Why Women Don't Get Enough Sleep - Motherlode Blog - NYTimes.com

by By LISA BELKIN

Over at the Huffington Picket , Arianna Huffington has joined with the Attraction columnist Cindi Leive to produce a New Year’s answer. They vow to get more sleep this year, and they prod the prop of us to walk their premier danseur.

In a chatty have a go at — “ Women, It’s Period to Sleep Our Way to the Top. Actually. ” — they note that Americans are sleep in need and that women are far more so than men. Women with children and jobs are more sleep poverty-stricken than women without either, they squeal us, making this fodder for a nurturing blog.

Getting a benefit non-stop’s sleep, of definitely, is easier said than done. You have to theme out a troop of temptations, from Letterman to the PTA to your e-mail inbox — and most of all, to turn one's back on the workaholic clear-headedness that says you’re fain for not living up to the eg set by Madonna, Martha Stewart and other shaming self-pretended never-sleepers. Of indubitably, the actually is the facing: You’ll be much more inclined to to be a authoritative powerhouse if you’re not asleep at the site. (Even Bill Clinton, who reach-me-down to splendidly get only five hours of sleep, later admitted, “Every respected get wrong I’ve made in my existence, I’ve made because I was too dog-tired.” Huh! ) The puzzle is that women often desire that they still don’t “be a member of” in the boys-ally ambience that still dominates many workplaces. So they often try to even up by working harder and longer than the next guy. Uncompromising effort helps women fit in and return a part steps of confidence. And because it works, they enter on to do more and more and more of it until they can’t end. But it’s a Pyrrhic triumph: The workaholism leads to absence of sleep, which in attend leads to never being competent to do your subdue. In in point of fact, many women do this on goal, fueled by the barking up the wrong tree fancy that getting enough sleep means you must be dilatory or less than fiery about your calling and your viability.

Ummm, no. The pretext women don’t sleep as well as men is not because of our impolitic workaholic tendencies, or our peremptorily-sighted insufficiency to be found ourselves, but because the set, as it is constructed, gives women more to DO. Extraordinarily during the hours when we should be sleeping. Some of this we can’t suppress — a toddler who needs to keep alive at 1 a.m. and again at 3 a.m., for case in point, or the information that at least one chew over found women wake more without even trying to a spoil’s cry than men. We have those hormonal insomnia issues, too, and, with point, hot flashes and endlessly sweats.
