Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stage 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: -You go through all three phases before reaching REM sleep. Stage 1: Your eyes are closed, but it’s easy to wake you up. This phase may last for 5 to 10 minutes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Waking up at the end of the cycle, when sleep is lightest, may be best to help the person wake feeling more rested and ready to start the day. An alarm going off when a person is in one of the deeper stages of sleep may lead to grogginess or difficulty waking up.
