3/13/2012 jhh: REM sleep is NOT deep sleep. In fact, it is the lightest stage of sleep. In order from awake to deep sleep: AWAKE, REM, LIGHT, DEEP. Deep sleep and REM sleep are the most important stages though. Light sleep doesn't do much for you. Deep replenishes your body, while REM replenishes your mind.

Truly "deep" sleep does not occur during REM sleep. REM sleep is when you are dreaming. It is deeper than light sleep, but not as far down in unconsciousness as "deep" sleep.
Do you have rapid eye movement when your in deep sleep?
No, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep typically occurs during lighter stages of sleep, not deep sleep. Deep sleep, also known as slow-wave sleep, is characterized by low brain activity and is crucial for physical restoration and growth. REM sleep, on the other hand, is associated with vivid dreaming and heightened brain activity. Thus, while both REM and deep sleep are essential for overall rest, they are distinct stages with different characteristics.
