What is the correct order for the sleep stages?

The correct order for the sleep stages is as follows: Stage 1 (light sleep), Stage 2 (light sleep with sleep spindles), Stage 3 (deep sleep), and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. A typical sleep cycle progresses through these stages in that sequence, with REM sleep occurring after deep sleep. This cycle repeats several times throughout the night, with each cycle lasting about 90 minutes.
