The Impact of Disrupted Brain Activity on Sleep

Scientists have found out why you can't get enough sleep - it's all due to disrupted brain activity. This leads to restless sleep: you spend the whole night in the rapid eye movement (REM) phase while your brain thinks you're awake. One obvious symptom of this problem is dreaming about reality, where you ponder over shopping lists or work tasks. As a result, you endure 8 dreadful hours when you slept, but your brain carried on living its own life. Common victims of this condition are people with PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
