Detailed explanation-1: -During REM sleep, your eyes move rapidly behind your closed eyes, your heart rate speeds up, and your breathing becomes irregular. In contrast to other stages of sleep, in which your brain waves slow down, your brain is highly active during REM sleep, and your brain waves become more variable.
Detailed explanation-2: -As you cycle into REM sleep, the eyes move rapidly behind closed lids, and brain waves are similar to those during wakefulness. Breath rate increases and the body becomes temporarily paralyzed as we dream.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sleep spindles are bursts of coherent brain activity visible on the EEG, which are most evident during stage 2 sleep. They consist of brief 11-to 16-Hz waves lasting 0.5–1.5 s.
Detailed explanation-4: -Parasomnias are disruptive sleep-related disorders. Abnormal movements, talk, emotions and actions happen while you’re sleeping although your bed partner might think you’re awake. Examples include sleep terrors, sleepwalking, nightmare disorder, sleep-related eating disorder and sleep paralysis.
