On the other hand, in the REM phase, despite being deep sleep, the brain activity resembles the waking state, and it is in this phase that we dream.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sleep is a vital necessity, but if these hours of sleep are not effective, eight hours in bed is of no use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If the REM and NREM cycles are interrupted several times during the night &#8211; whether by snoring, breathing difficulties or frequent awakenings during the night &#8211; we will impede our body&#8217;s vital regeneration processes, negatively affecting our health in the short and long term.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; conditional_render=&#8221;%5B%7B%22value_role%22%3A%22administrator%22%7D%5D&#8221; el_class=&#8221;mb100&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5681&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221; label=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;What happens if you don&apos;t get enough sleep?&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you don&#8217;t sleep well during the night, going through the REM and non-REM sleep phases, you will notice the first signs of lack of rest in:<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;enfermedades-list&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Mood swings, irritability, depression and drowsiness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Slowness in reaction capacity, memory loss, lack of attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Desire to eat foods rich in fats and sugars, which could lead to weight gain.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1703766106261{background-color: #0086c5 !important;}&#8221; conditional_render=&#8221;%5B%7B%22value_role%22%3A%22administrator%22%7D%5D&#8221; el_class=&#8221;blue-prefooter&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Need more information?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:div|font_size:38px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:50px&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1703773915927{margin-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Tips for better sleep&#8221; style=&#8221;outline-custom&#8221; outline_custom_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; outline_custom_hover_background=&#8221;&#8221; outline_custom_hover_text=&#8221;&#8221; shape=&#8221;round&#8221; align=&#8221;right&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1709797067859{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;blue-prefooter-btn&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.terapiacpap.pt%2Fen%2Fdicas-para-dormir-melhor%2F|title:Tips%20for%20better%20sleep|&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Contact us&#8221; style=&#8221;outline-custom&#8221; outline_custom_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; outline_custom_hover_background=&#8221;&#8221; outline_custom_hover_text=&#8221;&#8221; shape=&#8221;round&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1709797101301{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;blue-prefooter-btn&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.terapiacpap.pt%2Fen%2Fcontactos%2F|title:Contact%20us|&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; conditional_render=&#8221;%5B%7B%22value_role%22%3A%22administrator%22%7D%5D&#8221; el_class=&#8221;mb100&#8243;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1704190760480{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; conditional_render=&#8221;%5B%7B%22value_role%22%3A%22administrator%22%7D%5D&#8221; el_class=&#8221;mb100&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;What happens during sleep?&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text] When we fall asleep our body begins a process of vital cellular repair and regeneration.
