Looking for the best and inspirational sleep quotes?
Studies have shown that the correct type of sleep can help steer you in the right direction from negative to positive thoughts. In one study, people who went back and forth from waking to REM for six hours had more positive views than those who stayed awake all night long.
In another study, people with severe depression were found to have less REM sleep than those without depression, and they also had less activity in certain parts of the brain overnight, which could help cause their depression. When we sleep, our brain is still active, and so are the neurons. In the REM sleep cycle, we also go through a few phases wherein our thoughts can be directed from negative to positive ones. Check out these inspirational quotes about sleep to help you stay positive and let go of those negative thoughts.
