There are 4 non-REM stages and REM sleep.
There are five stages of sleep; Stages 1-4, and then REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, in which dreaming occurs.
As of 2008, the American Society of Sleep Medicine combined the stages three and four. So now there are only 3 stages
quiet sleep

There is alpha or stage one sleep, theta or stage two sleep, delta or statge 3 sleep, and alpha with REM (stage 4 sleep).
The stages of sleep affect consciousness by transitioning through different levels of awareness and brain activity, from light sleep to deep sleep and then to REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. The amount of sleep also impacts consciousness, as insufficient sleep can lead to decreased cognitive function, poor memory retention, and impaired judgment, while getting enough quality sleep supports optimal brain function and awareness during wakefulness.
Sleep stages are defined in terms of brainwave patterns, which can be measured by an electroencephalograph (EEG).
When different things need to be done at various stages then the completed stages are recorded on different documents.
