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.
