REM sleep

The reason why REM sleep/rapid eye movement sleep attracts its name is because the main characteristic is random movements of the eyes while you are sleeping. The condition was identified and defined in the 1950s and is classified into specific categories which are tonic and phasic.

Stages of sleep

The different stages of sleep vary widely between young children and older adults and are ultimately associated with increased activity by the brains neurons which are very similar to the activity you would experience during waking hours.

Adult sleep

The average adult will have around 20% to 25% of REM sleep per night which equates to around 90 min to 120 min. While REM sleep tends to occur nearer to morning time it is not uncommon to experience between four and five periods of rapid eye movement sleep per night. The ending of this particular type of sleep can often lead to a prolonged period of “light sleeping” which can see some people wake up for no apparent reason.

Young children sleeping patterns

When you consider that adults have between 20% and 25% of total sleep time taken up by REM sleep the situation is very much different for young babies where up to 80% of their regular sleep will be in the REM sleep state. This would indicate that young children’s brains are infinitely more active throughout the day and throughout the night than adult brains as they get older.

What happens during rapid eye movement sleep?

There have been many investigations into sleeping patterns and sleeping states and it appears that certain memory groups are consolidated during REM sleep. These tend to be associated with procedural memory and spatial memory with prolonged rapid eye movement sleeping proving to lead to enhanced memory recollection during the next day.

Interrupting REM sleep

Scientists believe that constant interruption of rapid eye movement sleeping, which many believe is a time in which the brain is said to rest, will lead to the body automatically switching to autopilot and extending REM sleep or rebound sleep. So whatever the situation, whatever your sleeping pattern it seems that your body is more than capable of looking after itself subconsciously.

Sleeping disorders

Sleeping disorders can have a massive impact upon the everyday life of sufferers bringing on depression and other similar conditions. While many of us would like to believe we don’t need as much sleep as we get older, which is very much not the case, we still need a minimum number of hours of REM sleep per night. Many people believe the required minimum sleeping hours is anywhere from five hours to 8 hours per night but it is really down to the quality of sleep and your amount of rapid eye movement resting.

Conclusion

REM sleeping can and does have a major impact upon not only your brainpower but also your mood swings and your alertness. It is actually the quality of your sleep rather than the length of your sleep which is important. This is perhaps why many people claim to be able to live off relatively small but regular sleep breaks with the perception that they are able to fall into REM sleep almost immediately and “rest their brains”.

The British Cheese Board investigation 2005

The British Cheese Board carried out an investigation into whether eating cheese gives you nightmares in 2005 and the results were very interesting to say the least. Each of the participants was given 3 ounces of cheese to eat every night before bed time and asked to keep a diary of their dreams and nightmares to see if there were any patterns emerging.

Result number one

Unfortunately for those looking for some real gossip and scientific confirmation, 75% of those volunteers who joined the investigation reported sleeping very well each and every night that they ate their cheese. It seems that the contents of the cheese had the effect of normalising sleep patterns and thankfully reducing the stress levels of the participants. However, result number two is a little more interesting!

Result number two

Interestingly the board found that those involved in the investigation reported specific types of dreams, although no nightmares, when taking specific cheeses. We hereby listed a number of the findings which are very interesting indeed.

Blue stilton cheese

Those who ate blue stilton cheese before going to sleep reported an increase in the amount of very vivid dreams which had relatively wacky content although were not necessary nightmares. It is thought that something in the blue stilton cheese encourages a certain area of the brain to become active and vivid dreams to flow.

Cheddar cheese

For some bizarre reason it was found that Cheddar cheese tended to prompt more dreams about celebrities although whether this is related to stories and content which the participants read before going to sleep is unclear.

Cheshire cheese

It seems that if you want a relatively dream free sleep and nice comfortable sleep then Cheshire cheese is the one for you because those who ate Cheshire cheese before sleeping reported a lack of dreams they could remember but a very good night sleep.

Red Leicester cheese

It seems as though something in the ingredients of Red Leicester cheese prompts nostalgic thoughts with many of the participants reporting dreams of their childhood and their very early days. Quite why this is the case remains something of a mystery.

Lancashire cheese

If you want to dream about work, although who would want to dream about work, then it seems that Lancashire cheese is the one you. Many of the participants reported very vivid dreams about their work which could have the effect of making you tired of work before you even wake up!

Conclusion

While this investigation perhaps needs to be taken one step further and introduced into the scientific arena there is no doubt that eating cheese does have at least an impact upon the type of sleep you have and potentially the type dreams you dream. It would be interesting to see a full-scale scientific investigation to see exactly why this seems to be the case.
