The effects of sleep deprivation on sleep stages
Hello
I was wondering if anyone knows how sleep deprivation (let's say 36 hours without sleep) affects sleep stages. What I mean is: what will happen once I finally go to sleep? I've heard that for the first couple of hours REM will not kick in in favor of NREM. Could this be advantageous to WILDing? I'd get my 6 hours of sleep, none of which would waste REM for me, wake up and stay awake, and then attempt WILDing.
It sound logical, but is that thing about skipping REM in the first cycles true? Does anyone have any information about that? Sleep deprivation is a pretty fascinating subject.
Thanks.
