Natural Supplements to Aid Sleep
Sleep is not an option; it is required, just like food, water and oxygen. Lack of sleep prevents rejuvenation and repair of the body and hinders brain function. Sleep deprivation is dangerous in that it may cause a person to fall asleep while driving; drop a baby while feeding him; and to be unable to perform at work. It also can lead to broken relationships through dysfunctional behavior or psychosis. Therefore, recuperative sleep must be achieved to be at your best mentally and physically.

Stages of Sleep
-
Four stages of sleep must be reached in order to gain recuperative sleep. The first stage of sleep is REM---rapid eye movement sleep. The second stage of sleep is called NREM, or non-rapid eye movement sleep. After NREM is reached, a further four divisions of sleep are optimally reached, with the depth of sleep increasing as the stages progress.
