Is there a way to improve my R.E.M. sleep? A certain position (on my back, on my side, etc), or any other tips? Thank you!

hey neil ..
I have been suffering from insomnia since about late october.. The sleep I did manage to get was poor quality and I was not getting the REM periods that i needed to .
I tried the homespun methods and for some people these methods work well .. Like warm milk with honey, no reading or watching TV in Bed, meditation and relaxation techiniques. I tried camomile teas
I tried a form of serapax BUT that is NOT a good idea as while it may induce a form of sleep , it is not the sleep with REM periods. AND WE NEED THOSE ..
So i took myself off to the Doctors and i decided to give acupuncture a try ... and KNOCK ON WOOD .. it seems to have done the trick .. I am falling asleep a lot easier and I am sleeping longer... and I am dreaming again .. which is a part of the rem cycle,
you may have luck with the other techniques i wrote of .. BUT if you don't why not try acupuncture .. I AM SO glad i did.

i have n electronic device called 'mastermind' which is used to induce an of the 4 types of brainwaves. they are expensive but totally worth it. i used it mostly when i was working full time salary (as much as 14 hours a day, and part time overnights a the local radio station, 2am-6am. i bough mine in the 70's but the new ones are totally cool, but still about $265-$350.

Eat nothing spicy, sugar, or heavy five hours before going to bed. Meditation, yoga an hour before is very helpful. Sex is also known to improve REM sleep as well, which, of course, is the preferred option.

rapid eye movement sleep is part of the sleep cycle,it took place two to three times in a good night sleep on its own,try not to interfere with it,let nature do its work.

One of the best ways I've found to increase the retention of dream memories is meditation, if that's what you're trying to accomplish.
