Biphasic sleep style
Hello Doctor,
I want to ask you is biphasic sleep i.e. Sleep in 2 instalments with one hour of waking up and studying in between the 2 instalments of sleep, good for a 18 year boy?
Does this sleep style have any benefits?
Please tell is it worth doing as his exam is approaching in 3 months.
Thanking you in advance.

Hello.......see there are two modes of sleep Non REM and REM sleep.. There are four stages in non REM sleep ,These stages progress cyclically from stage 1 through REM then begin again with stage 1. You feel refreshed with deep sleep..Stage 3 and 4 are deep sleep stage .. It takes time to reach that stage. If you only have superficial sleep and wake up, you will be tired whole day.. Adjust timings according to your convenience
