CNN
People with migraines might get less of the REM sleep stage crucial for thinking and memory, a new study has found. Experts suggest why this could happen and how people can cope.
Rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep is the sweet spot of our sleep cycles, characterized by more dreaming, bodily movement, and faster heart rate and breathing than in other sleep stages.

The meta-analysis findings published Wednesday in the journal Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Over the past 10 days, Vice President JD Vance put Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on notice, rattled the confidence of century-old allies in Western Europe during his first foreign trip, decamped to Capitol Hill to help in delicate budget talks and delivered a spirited defense of the Trump administration’s first month to a gathering of conservatives outside the nation’s capital.
