1. Stage One: lightest level of sleep; pulse slows, muscles relax, breathing uneven and brain waves irregular; awakened you'd report you were just drifting; lasts up to 10 minutes.
Stage Two: brain waves shift from low amplitude, high frequency waves to high amplitude, low frequency waves; eyes roll from side to side; lasts 30 minutes.
Stage Three: large amplitude waves sweep brain every second or so.
Stage Four: deepest sleep, difficult to wake up from; regular delta waves occur more than 50% of time; talking out loud, sleepwalking, bedwetting can occur in this stage.
REM sleep: a stage of sleep (past the fourth stage) characterized by rapid eye movement, a high level of brain activity, a deep relaxation of the muscles, and dreaming; face and fingers twitch; adrenal and sexual hormones rise in blood; large muscles are paralyzed; brain waves resemble a fully awake person; lasts 15 minutes (early at night) to 45 minutes (late at night); after this REM stage, a person regresses back into stage four; cycle repeats every 90 minutes or so.
*(Stages One through Four are non-REM sleep which is quiet sleep)*

What are the sleep stages one through four called?
quiet sleep
How many stages of sleep there?
There are 4 non-REM stages and REM sleep.
What are the 5 stages of sleep called and which cycle of sleep do dreams occur?
There are five stages of sleep; Stages 1-4, and then REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, in which dreaming occurs.

a
What are the four stages of 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).
What is quiet sleep?
Is how NREM sleep is referred to as.
What are a volcano's stages of activity?
quiet and explosive
Explain stages of sleep in terms of EEG brain wave patterns?
There are four stages of sleep: 1) Stage 1 is characterized by theta waves, 2) Stage 2 by sleep spindles and K-complexes, 3) Stage 3 by delta waves, and 4) Stage 4 by predominantly delta waves. As we progress through the stages, brain activity slows down, with deeper stages associated with slower wave patterns.
How do you know when someones in an rem sleep?
You will know when someone is in REM sleep when there eyes-lids are moving really fast back and forward. REM sleep is a sleep that is after your first 4 stages of sleep and is the stage of sleep that you dream.
What happens to deeper sleep stages and their brain waves?
During deeper sleep stages, particularly stages 3 and 4 of non-REM sleep, brain activity slows down significantly, resulting in the predominance of delta waves, which are characterized by their high amplitude and low frequency. This phase is crucial for physical restoration, memory consolidation, and overall health. As sleep progresses, the duration of these deeper stages tends to decrease in favor of lighter sleep and REM sleep as the night continues. Disruptions in these deeper stages can lead to feelings of fatigue and impaired cognitive function upon waking.
How many stages of NREM sleep?
As of 2008, the American Society of Sleep Medicine combined the stages three and four. So now there are only 3 stages
Is REM sleep a quiet or active sleep?
REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is active sleep.
