When is my REM?

Hi,

I had my first LD last night :banana:. I'm trying to work out when my REM started - any advice would be most welcome.

I awoke from the LD at 2.39am. The LD was, I think, the forth dream during this period. I want to set my alarm for this same window tonight. What do you think, say, 2.15am?

Thanks in advance,

Jogo

Congratulations, jogo! :goodjob2:

REM periods (the periods when you have vivid dreams) are pretty individual, but they happen approximately every 90 minutes after you fall asleep;
this chart will give you an idea of when they occur.

Just to add some extra information to Laurelindo's excellent advice:

Remember that trying to guess your REM stages is very hard without a regular sleep schedule. There are many factors that account for individual variation on sleep cycle, so when trying to WBTB small differences (even as small as 15 minutes), can have a huge influence on your results. Experimentation is the key here, good luck ;)

Thanks guys
