Slow wave sleep occurs after Stage 1 and Stage 2 sleep, and prior to REM sleep. There is more slow wave sleep present toward the beginning of the night, while more REM sleep is present toward the end of the night's sleep. In slow wave sleep, delta waves are present on the EEG (Electroencephalogram), which measures brain activity. These waves are long and slow, as opposed to the sharp waves of Stage 2 sleep. It is ecause of the shape of these waves that the stage is called slow wave sleep.

How does REM sleep differ from NREM sleep?
REM sleep, also called rapid-eye movement sleep, is when dreams occur. Our brain is more active during REM, it generates 'smaller and faster brain waves' (Hockenbury 142). The first stage or episode of REM is brief, lasting between 5-15 minutes. NREM sleep (non-rapid-eye-movement, is when brain activity slows down. NREM sleep is grouped in four stages. Stage 1 lasts only a few minutes during which you teeter on the edge of sleep and consciousness. During this stage it is very easy to be woken up by the littlest sounds. During stage 2 breathing becomes rhythmical. Stage 3 and stage 4 of NREM "are often referred to as slow-wave sleep" (Hockenbury 142). Sleepwalking is known to occur during this stage.
