A new drug in the middle of clinical trials just increased REM sleep by 90% without making people sleep longer!

This is the first medication ever to specifically enhance REM only and the implications go far beyond seizure control.

Here's what just happened. 🧵 Image This past week (Jan 6, 2026), Bright Minds Biosciences announced Phase 2 results for BMB-101:

• 73.1% reduction in absence seizures (p=0.012, statistically significant)

• 63.3% reduction in major motor seizures (developmental epilepsy)

• 90% increase in REM sleep (56.2 → 106.7 minutes)

Total sleep duration: unchanged

These patients had failed a median of 3-10 other treatments for seizure control
