Welcome to the Private Duty Homecare Association. The Private Duty Homecare Association (PDHCA) was established by the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC). It is a trade association of home care providers dedicated to helping the ill and disabled remain in their own homes.
Stage 5 - REM Sleep: REM sleep usually occurs in cycles during the last 5-6 hours of an 8-hour nightâs sleep. So how much sleep we get in this stage will depend on how much sleep we get for the night. During REM sleep, eye movements increase, heart rate increases, and the normal body processes also increase.
REM sleep tends to be concentrated in the last third of the night, or between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. for a typical teen, Badr said. It's like telling you that you have to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning and function at full capacity, Owens said.
