Understanding and Using Dreams to Learn and to Forget — Key Takeaways - Deepstash

Understanding and Using Dreams to Learn and to Forget — Key Takeaways

  • Prioritize sleep consistency over duration. Going to bed and waking up at the same time is more important than getting 8+ hours of sleep. 
  • Slow-wave sleep and REM sleep serve distinct purposes. Understand how to optimize each stage.  
  • Unprocessed emotions, traumatic experiences, and unhealthy beliefs can be “unlearned” during REM sleep through dreams. Work to facilitate emotional release in this state.  
  • Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and stress management have a significant impact on sleep quality and neuroplasticity. Make self-care a priority.
