Lack of REM Sleep

Posted by carolina on January 28, 2005 at 15:41:08:

My daughter (21)has been having problems sleeping -insomnia and tiredness during the day, she has had a sleep test that diagnosed a lack of REM sleep. She has been given stimulants to keep awake during the day and relaxants to try to help get to sleep at night - this regime does not really seem to be helping, seems to me to be treating the symptons not the problem, what else can we do?
