Think falling asleep instantly is a superpower? Think again. Dr. Gundry warns that if you fall asleep in under 5 minutes, you aren’t just "good at sleeping"—you are likely overtired. On the flip side, if it takes longer than 30 minutes, the culprits are usually stress, caffeine, or blue light exposure.
Dr. Gundry also breaks down REM sleep (the dream stage), explaining that you want about 20% to 25% of your total sleep to be in this zone for emotional regulation and brain health.
Don’t obsess over the specific number! Dr. Gundry reveals that depending on whether you use an Oura Ring or a Whoop Band, you may get completely different answers for these sleep cycles.
