My best friend, Rush, just had a sleep study done and found out that he's getting no REM sleep. NONE! The doctor was stunned that he's even walking around, let alone leading a reasonably normal life (albeit under tremendous stress).
The good news is that it may be due to breathing trouble from something as simple as allergies. After decades of insomnia and breathing problems, Rush has already seen major improvement in just a few days on some allergy meds, and we're hoping that will do the trick without surgery.
But I can't imagine how a person survives without REM sleep! Has anyone ever had this experience?
