Typical sleep follows a pattern in which deeper, non-REM sleep is prioritized by the body. Only later in the night and into the early morning do people experience dreaming, during REM sleep.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are at least as dream-deprived as we are sleep-deprived,&#8221; noted Dr. Naiman, UA clinical assistant professor of medicine. He sees REM\/dream loss as an unrecognized public health hazard that silently wreaks havoc by contributing to illness, depression and an erosion of consciousness. &#8220;Many of our health concerns attributed to sleep loss actually result from REM sleep deprivation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The review examines data about the causes and extent of REM\/dream loss associated with medications, substance use disorders, sleep disorders and behavioral and lifestyle factors. Dr. Naiman further reviews the consequences of REM\/dream loss and concludes with recommendations for restoring healthy REM sleep and dreaming.<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>Chinese<\/a>\u00a0French<\/a>\u00a0German<\/a>\u00a0Italian<\/a>\u00a0Japanese<\/a>\u00a0Korean<\/a>\u00a0Portuguese<\/a>\u00a0Russian<\/a>\u00a0Spanish<\/a><\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medicine, Health Care An Epidemic of Dream Deprivation:\u2026 Published: September 29, 2017.Released by University of Arizona Health Sciences TUCSON, Ariz. &#8211; A silent epidemic of dream loss is at the root of many of the health concerns attributed to sleep loss, according to Rubin Naiman, PhD, a sleep and dream specialist at the University of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-85323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/healthmedicinet.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/healthmedicinet.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/healthmedicinet.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/healthmedicinet.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/healthmedicinet.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/healthmedicinet.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85323\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/healthmedicinet.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/healthmedicinet.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/healthmedicinet.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
