Sleeping helps heal the human body. From physical to mental health, everything is invigorated during deep, peaceful sleep. However, according to the latest study by Fitbit, India is amongst the most sleep-deprived countries. The sleep insights revealed by Fitbit state that Indians are the second most sleep-deprived with an average nightly sleep of 7 hours 1 minute after Japanese who get an average sleep of 6 hours 47 minutes. Rapid eye movement sleep (REM) is referred as a crucial aspect for emotion regulation, memory, and peak stage of protein synthesis at the cellular level, which ensures multiple processes in the body work properly. Indians get only 77 minutes of REM sleep on average which is the lowest in the world just like Japanese who get the same amount of REM sleep on an average. Fitbit also recorded 57 minutes awake time (on an average) each night users' sleep, which represents close to 13.5 per cent of their nightly sleep.
Sleep tracking is categorised in four - awake, light sleep, deep sleep and REM sleep. Fitbit explains that being awake for brief periods - between 10-30 times - is normal part of sleep. Light sleep usually makes up half your night and is good for memory and learning. Deep sleep is important for the immune system and physical recovery from workouts. REM typically occurs when you're coming out of deep sleep and helps with mental restoration.
