Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stage 1, also called N1, is essentially when a person first falls asleep. This stage normally lasts just one to seven minutes. During N1 sleep, the body has not fully relaxed, though the body and brain activities start to slow with periods of brief movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stage 2. The first two sleep phases are typically considered light sleep. You’ll spend around half the night in stage two. This acts as an extension of the first stage of your natural sleep cycle, and your breathing, eye movement, heartbeat and muscle activity will continue to slow down 3.
