The Science of Sleep
First, a quick primer on the 4 stages of sleep and how they all contribute to your waking hours. (If you already know this, feel free to skip ahead or just get started on your sleep journey here!)
The sleep stages are:
- NREM-1, where alpha and theta brain waves are abundant and you begin to fall asleep
- NREM-2, when your body relaxes and you produce theta brain waves
- NREM-3, the state of deep sleep and delta waves
- REM sleep, highlighted by vivid dreams and heightened brain activity
You need ALL of these for optimal physical health, cognitive function (including memory and problem-solving skills), and emotional regulation. If you have daily obligations and a high-stress job, you know first-hand how a bad night can affect your brain and body. Enter Healthycell…
How These Gels Work
Like all Healthycell products, REM Sleep comes in a Microgel – because gel absorbs into the body 165% better than pills! When I first learned that, I chucked my bottle of melatonin tablets (which I’d already been wanting to do; they made me so groggy in the morning) and started reading more about this mysterious, magical gel.
Each gel pack contains over 2,384 MG of proven, sleep-inducing nutrients – the equivalent of 7 pills. Some of the powerhouse ingredients include L-Theanine, Lemon Balm Extract, GABA, 5HTP, Vitamin D3, and Magnesium.
The REM Sleep gels are formulated to:
- Help you fall asleep easily with relaxing herbal extracts
- Lower body temperature for better, uninterrupted sleep
- Provide deep, lasting sleep that doesn’t leave you sluggish the next day
- Regulate your sleep hormones, resulting in quality REM sleep
Also worth mentioning: unlike many other sleep supplements, Healthycell’s are non habit-forming!

My Dreamy Results
When I tried REM Sleep for the first time, I wanted to give it the best chance possible. So about an hour before bedtime, as advised, I tore open a pack and slurped it down (note on flavor: a bit chalky at first, but ultimately fine). Then I read for a bit, brushed my teeth, and at 11pm climbed into bed and laid my head against the pillow…
…And then my alarm was ringing. What just happened? It was 7 am; I had fallen asleep almost immediately and slept like a rock through the entire night. Color me shocked and awed – I’m pretty sure that hadn’t happened since I was a baby.
Of course, results typically take time and the longer and more consistently you take these gels, the better they work. That’s been my experience; I’m sleeping better night after night, and really feeling the physical and cognitive effects in my waking life.
Sleep Like A Baby
I swear by Healthycell because not only do I get more sleep, I get optimized sleep. It’s one thing to wake up with 8 hours under your belt, and a whole other thing to feel *restored* by it.
