Yeah, breathing meditation at that time is not only hard, it’s kinda pointless. Well, until you get to the point where you can either enter a state of right-brain flow on purpose, or enter a REM-like state on purpose.
Could you illuminate what you mean with REM-like state? I do enter from time to time a state where I have REM activity meaning that my eyes move. I don’t see that as particular useful or a state that I would seek intentionally.
Just before I fall asleep, I usually enter into a state where visualizing is very easy and my eyes vibrate. It took quite a while for me to realize that it was my eyelids, not eye movements that caused the vibration. This was before I understood anything about sleep physiology. Perhaps he’s making a similar mistake.
