Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is c. increased voluntary muscle movement. Instead, the body becomes nearly immobile. The other answers do in fact occur in REM sleep.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rapid eye movement sleep, also known as REM sleep, is the third stage in your sleep cycle. It’s characterized by small, variable-speed brain waves, rapid eye movements, increased heart rate, and muscle paralysis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, delta waves are an integral part of REM sleep in humans and the two identified subtypes (sawtooth and medial-occipital slow waves) may reflect distinct generation mechanisms and functional roles.
Detailed explanation-4: -Delta waves are associated with the deep sleep stages: stage 3 and REM. During stage 3, less than half of brain waves consist of delta waves, while more than half of brain activity consists of delta waves during REM sleep.
