The first REM sleep period usually occurs about 70 to 90 minutes after we fall asleep. A complete sleep cycle takes 90 to 110 minutes on average. The first sleep cycles each night contain relatively short REM periods and long periods of deep sleep.
REM, or rapid eye movement sleep is an important part of a human being's normal sleep pattern. This is the stage of sleep when people often dream. When someone hasn't gotten enough REM sleep, they can suffer the effects of sleep deprivation, which includes mental fatigue, migraines, and increased stress.
