What waves does REM sleep have?

When awake, most people exhibit beta waves , the highest in frequency and lowest in amplitude, They are desynchronousthat is, the waves are not very consistent in their pattern. When relaxed most people exhibit alpha waves, which are slower, increase in amplitude and become more synchronous. The first stage of sleep is characterized by theta waves, which are even slower in frequency and greater in amplitude than alpha waves. Stages 1 and 2 are relatively "light" stages of sleep. A sleeper passes from the theta waves of stage 1 and 2, to the delta waves of stage 3 and 4. Delta waves are the slowest and highest amplitude brain waves. This is the deepest stage of the sleep cycle.The next stage is REM sleep, a sleepers brain waves demonstrate characteristics that are similar to waking sleep, a combination of alpha, beta, and desynchronous waves. This is the stage of sleep most associated with dreaming.In a normal night's sleep, a sleeper begins in stage 1, moves down through the stages, to stage 4, then back up through the stages, with the exception that stage 1 is replaced by REM, then the sleeper goes back down through the stages again. One cycle, from stage 1 to REM takes approximately ninety minutes. This cycle is repeated throughout the night, with the length of REM periods increasing, and the length of delta sleep decreasing, until during the last few cycles there is no delta sleep at all.

What is the type of brain wave associated with deep sleep?

The brain wave associated with deep sleep is called delta waves. These slow brain waves are characteristic of the deepest stages of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Delta waves are most prominent during the restorative stage of sleep known as slow-wave sleep.


Can you move things with the energy brain waves make while communicating?

No, brain waves are a form of electrical activity in the brain and cannot generate enough energy to physically move objects. Brain waves are used for communication within the brain and are not strong enough to affect external objects.


What are the large slow brain waves associated with sleep called?

The large slow brain waves associated with sleep are called delta waves. These waves are typically observed during deep sleep stages.


What causes abnormal slow or fast brain waves?

Abnormal slow brain waves can be caused by conditions such as brain injury, dementia, or sleep disorders. Abnormal fast brain waves can be triggered by epilepsy, anxiety disorders, or drug use. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate treatment.
