REM graph correlations

Post by Papit » Mon Jun 22, 2015 3:27 pm

Anybody else notice a correlation between the (potential) REMs in their Flow Rate graph and the same periods in their other detailed graphs? Check out the highlighted periods below. During potential REMs I’m consistently seeing reductions in Respiration Rate and increases in Tidal Volume. Translated, that means slower but deeper breathing during REM for me. From what I read, there’s a lot of variance in how people react during REM and my patterns are unlikely to be the same for everybody.
