I only get around 55 minutes of deep sleep every night as measured by my zeo headband. I spend most of the night in light sleep. I always feel fatigued. I can't find any reliable data on how much slow wave sleep one is supposed to get. If anyone here has used zeo or a sleep study, please inform me of this.

      A type of insomnia that causes the body to go directly into REM and nothing else, you don't have anything other than REM. I get it probably a few times a month now. I don't have to measure it, you know because you wake after every REM and you live the dream, it's lucid/"real"

    As you get older (50-70) you get upto 15mins of deep sleep, 55 mins is too much, those bands aren't reliable data anyway, as it include 1-2 stages, deep sleep is 3/4
