Detailed explanation-1: -REM stands for rapid eye movement. During REM sleep, your eyes move around rapidly in a range of directions, but don’t send any visual information to your brain. That doesn’t happen during non-REM sleep. First comes non-REM sleep, followed by a shorter period of REM sleep, and then the cycle starts over again.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stage 4-REM Sleep The first round of REM in a night lasts about 10 minutes, with the stage getting longer and longer each time you enter REM in one night1. It’s also the deepest stage of sleep, where you’ll experience1: Quickened breathing. Faster heart rate and blood pressure.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most important sleep stage is Stage 3, Non-REM or, Delta (Slow Wave) Sleep, it takes up 25% of our total sleep cycle, and it’s known as the ‘deepest’ period of sleep. It’s in Stage 3 that sleep is at its most restorative, helping our bodies heal themselves and our minds rest.
Detailed explanation-4: -In stage 1, you transition from wakefulness to sleep. In stage 2 you enter light sleep. By stage 3 you are in a deep sleep. Stage 4 REM, known as paradoxical sleep, is when the body’s immobilized and dreams occur.
