NREM

C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The first period typically lasts 10 minutes, with the final one lasting up to an hour. [21] REM is when dreaming, nightmares, and penile/clitoral tumescence occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -As children grow, their dreams grow along with them. Psychologist and pediatric dream researcher David Foulkes has found that around the age of three, children begin to recall dreams during REM sleep.

Detailed explanation-3: -REM Stage R Phasic REM sleep contains bursts of rapid eye movements, while tonic REM sleep does not. Stage R occurs about 90 minutes after you fall asleep, and is the primary “dreaming” stage of sleep.

Detailed explanation-4: -Babies spend more time in REM sleep and their sleep cycles are shorter than adults. Time spent in REM sleep decreases and sleep cycles get longer as kids get older. By the time kids start school, one complete sleep cycle lasts about 90 minutes, which is similar to an adult’s.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dreaming can occur in both rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep. We recently showed that in both REM and NREM sleep, dreaming is associated with local decreases in slow wave activity (SWA) in posterior brain regions.
