Reply to comment by Liztliss in Eli5 What are the long term consequences of drugs that suppress REM sleep? by muted_Log_454

Yeah but that sounds like they overdid it on the drugs, not that lack of REM sleep did him in.

I think perhaps OP was implying that the lack of REM was likely to have played a role in what led to his death, inability to sleep seemed to be the reason he asked for the drugs in the first place 🤔 it would only worsen his mental state from there, requiring more and more to even just achieve sleep alone, which just isn't enough ☚ī¸
