Avoid taking antidepressants which may suppress REM sleep, and be aware that decongestants, diet pills, and caffeinated beverages may also thwart your ability to achieve REM sleep.
STEP 5 Avoid cigarettes 避免吸烟
Don't smoke which often leads to light sleep and reduced amounts of REM sleep.

Avoid alcohol consumption which keeps people in a light sleep stage and reduces one's ability to reach REM sleep stages.

Extend your time in bed if necessary to get at least 7 hours of sleep each night, providing ample time for REM cycles to occur. Now, enjoy waking up in the morning rested and ready to conquer the world.
