"There's a next phase, which is as we sleep better and better and better, it appears that the brain actually pays attention to the fact that we've actually had 10 years of deferred repairs, repairs that we didn't get accomplished. Now we're sleeping really, really well and brain actually tries to go into a repair phase that requires longer time spent in sleep.

"Most of my clients are just interested in sleeping normally. But it turns out that the brain is actually designed to say, 'you know, you really weren't sleeping well for the last 15 years and I had to put off all these things that I needed to do.' The brain is actually organized to say, if the vitamin D stays 60 to 80, everything must be perfect, I'm actually going to switch into, 'I remember every single deferred repair that I didn't make. If you will just give me a few more of these building blocks i.e., B vitamins, minerals, A and C, the things that we use to make these repairs, I will actually undertake sleeping longer than eight hours. More importantly longer than the normal amount of deep sleep and REM sleep, and I will actually make those repairs for you.'" — Dr. Stasha Gominak with Dr. Mercola 33:06 – 34:27 https://youtu.be/MmuCKMRrCe8&t=1986
