Sleep Onset REM Sleep

    Occurence of a REM sleep episode just after sleep onset (15-25 mins) . Usually, SOREM is considered a symptom of a sleep disorder; but when sleep deprived, a normal healthy person might also experience SOREM. This seems to be the case when adopting an Uberman's Sleep Schedule; and is claimed to be why the schedule so profoundly increases sleep efficiency.

I like it!
