The Invisible Impact of REM Sleep Defaction
REM sleep is an essential phase of night rest. It is at this point that our brains sort out memories, that our body is repaired, and that the DHA is released. If you can't get into this phase, you secrete less DHA... and you urinate more. It is a vicious circle.
