My article on the benefits of dreaming, in the latest issue of Health Magazine, the magazine website has now gone (Jan 2018) so I have moved my article to here:

Cool! You are now published!

I remember reading a while ago that one reason medication for depression may work is because it cuts down on REM sleep. I can't remember where I got that info, but maybe it explains why depressed people have more REM. Could it be possible that people become depressed because they are experiencing too much REM, or are they having more REM because they are depressed? Interesting.
