Detailed explanation-1: -In normal adults, REM sleep increases as the night progresses and is longest in the last one-third of the sleep episode.
Detailed explanation-2: -Newborns spend far more time in REM sleep and may enter a REM stage as soon as they fall asleep. As they get older, their sleep becomes similar to that of adults. Older adults tend to spend less time in REM sleep.
Detailed explanation-3: -In general, deep sleep (slow wave sleep) decreases with age in the adult population. During nocturnal sleep, the proportion of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) stage 1 and stage 2 increases with age, and the proportion of slow-wave sleep and REM sleep decreases with age2, 11 (see Figure 1).
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.
