During slow-wave sleep, the brain activity of a person is characterized by synchronized, slow brain waves, while awake states are characterized by more desynchronized and faster brain waves associated with active cognitive processes. In slow-wave sleep, the brain shows reduced activity in regions responsible for higher cognitive functions like reasoning and decision-making, unlike during wakefulness when these regions are highly active.
