What happens just before you enter REM sleep? You:
A
cycle back up through NREM 2 & NREM 1
B
stay in NREM 3 for another 30 minutes
C
go directly from NREM 3 to REM
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, or stage R, usually starts about 90 minutes after you fall asleep. Brain activity increases, your eyes dart around quickly, and your pulse, blood pressure, and breathing speed up.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stage 2 NREM sleep sees a continued slowing of heartbeat, breathing, muscle activity, and eye movements. During this stage, you also experience a reduction in body temperature. Throughout the course of the night, you spend about half the time in stage 2 sleep.

Detailed explanation-3: -Approximately 75% of sleep is spent in the NREM stages, with the majority spent in the N2 stage.[14] A typical night’s sleep consists of 4 to 5 sleep cycles, with the progression of sleep stages in the following order: N1, N2, N3, N2, REM.[15] A complete sleep cycle takes roughly 90 to 110 minutes.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
