Not really, but it is consistent with your hypothesis that your system is in a hypercholinergic state. How did you come to this conclusion?I would say that I hit REM sometime between 1/2 to 1 hour after falling asleep. This is consistent with endogenous depression. In healthy individuals, REM latency is closer to 90 minutes.
