One paradox of sleep is that despite being a state of reduced consciousness and physical activity, it is essential for maintaining and restoring cognitive functions and overall health. Another paradox is that while sleep is a vulnerable state where we are unaware of our surroundings, it is also a vital protective mechanism that allows the body to rest and recover.

Is rem sleep deep?

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. Older answer (not accurate): Yes. 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. That's where, unless your a mother and hear your baby cry, you are oblivious to your environment.

Why is REM sleep also called Paradoxical sleep?

Because during a REM stage your brain produces waves with a frequency and amplitude similar to beta waves. Beta waves have short frequencies and low amplitudes. These are the waves that are most common when you are most awake. Basically: you look asleep, but your brain is wide awake. REM sleep is when we remember our dreams, so it makes sense that our brains are most active when we are dreaming, seeing as that dreams require a lot of mental activity.
