When a person does not enter all the way down to stage 4 but
only enters the lighter stages, then REM is accessed more often.
Age will do it..the elderly do not sleep deeply as rule. Small babies and children do.
I would consider a sleep study.
Here is an article that describes the stages:

High dose B12 (1 milligram/day) may help. This helped me alot during
menopause. The issue with your eye, suggests you may have elevated
homocysteine...and that you can have a blood test for at the doctor's.
Elevated homocysteine affects blood vessels negatively. You will want to
clear that up as elevated homocysteine can lead to heart attacks and stroke.
I would like to add...that some people find eating a high carbohydrate meal near bedtime
or a snack of candy releases serotonin and hence improves sleep.
High protein meals tend to energize and should be avoided late in the day, if you are
sensitive to them.
