Abstract:

Compositions, kits, methods, and systems to induce, maintain, monitor, and interpret a continuous, un-fragmented REM sleep state in humans, generate dreams, recover sleep, create brain neuronal plasticity and activate the brain for cognition enhancement and mood stabilization are described. If potentially combined with other medications, a platform is provided to develop new research and therapies in many fields treating the human brain. The procedure reliably and quickly generates a Continuous REM Sleep cycle of pre-determined time or indefinite duration depending on therapeutic goals, allowing the patient to experience a qualitatively superior dream sleep in a shortened period of time compared to a natural sleep cycle. Profuse positive (pleasant) dreams are produced as well. REM sleep, dreams and sleep recovery can be reliably generated, and various sleep, psychological and neurological illnesses and disorders can be treated or prevented either solely by this method or in combination with additional agents.
