Sleep spindles primarily occur during non-REM (NREM) sleep, particularly in NREM stage 2. They are characterized by bursts of oscillatory brain activity and are thought to play a role in memory consolidation and sleep regulation. While REM sleep is associated with different brain wave patterns, it is generally not associated with the presence of sleep spindles. Thus, sleep spindles are not typically found during REM sleep.
Muscle atonia in REM sleep is a state of muscle paralysis that prevents us from acting out our dreams. This allows for vivid dreaming without physical movement, helping to protect us from potential harm during sleep.

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.

It is the deeper form of sleep that we experience during our sleep cycle, rem sleep is where dreaming occurs But not the deepest sleep, which would be delta.

Rapid eye movement (REM) occurs during the sleep cycle, specifically in the REM stage of sleep. This stage is characterized by quick, random movements of the eyes, increased brain activity, and vivid dreaming. REM sleep typically follows non-REM sleep stages and plays a crucial role in memory consolidation and emotional regulation. It usually occurs multiple times throughout the night, with each REM period lengthening as sleep progresses.
