NREM Sleep Protocol

Meaning

The NREM Sleep Protocol is a structured, behavioral, and environmental strategy specifically designed to maximize the duration and quality of Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep, particularly the restorative deep sleep (Slow-Wave Sleep) phases. This protocol typically involves precise timing of core body temperature regulation, strategic use of light exposure, and the administration of targeted nutritional or supplemental agents that promote delta wave activity. The clinical goal is to enhance the physical and metabolic recovery that predominantly occurs during NREM, thereby optimizing Growth Hormone secretion, tissue repair, and the consolidation of declarative memory.
