Maybe it’s dreaming? Dreaming by my experience is tedious and not restful… I have 4-6 dreams every night and never feel like I’m truly asleep.
Shouldn’t be hard to figure out with an EKG and a decent graph to see what your aiming for.
Disclaimer : I have no source and I may be wrong. It’s my understanding.
Now I wake up refreshed but I’m sick of watching the same rehashed combinations of dreams. I can do lucid dreaming, but I’d just rather not dream at all
4 to 6 dreams every night sounds exhausting. You should probably check it out with a doctor, it seems you're subconsciously waking up too often during the night.
The "waves" don't exist in the brain - which is why I'm surprised this title survived publication.
The wave is the electrical activity we measure as a result of the synchronous firing of neurons which is the hallmark of deep sleep.
The slow-wave is linked to the glymphatic flush.
We can't create slow-waves, however, we can increase their power (more synchronous firing).
This is known science, and we've been working to commercialize it for the last 4 years. Getting close. https://affectablesleep.com
It might change the comfort level of ‘clean’ you brain finds acceptable before commanding the janitor out of his closet.
