PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Deep, slow brain waves known as delta waves begin to emerge during NREM stage 3 sleep-a stage that is also referred to as delta sleep. This is a period of deep sleep where any environmental noises or activity may fail to wake the sleeping person.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stage 3 NREM sleep consists of delta waves or slow waves. Awakenings or arousals are rare and often it is difficult to wake up someone in Stage 3 sleep. Sleep conditions like parasomnias (which can include sleepwalking, sleep talking and night terrors, ) occur during the deepest NREM stage of sleep.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 3 sleep is also known as N3 or deep sleep, and it is harder to wake someone up if they are in this phase. Muscle tone, pulse, and breathing rate decrease in N3 sleep as the body relaxes even further. The brain activity during this period has an identifiable pattern of what are known as delta waves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stage N3: Delta Waves The slow delta waves only occur during the deepest stage of sleep, and as such are predominant in stage N3. Delta brain waves are the slowest brain waves, measuring at 0.5 to 3 Hertz.

Detailed explanation-5: -N3 is also known as slow-wave sleep (SWS). This is considered the deepest stage of sleep and is characterized by signals with much lower frequencies and higher amplitudes, known as delta waves. This stage is the most difficult to awaken from, and, for some people, even loud noises (> 100 decibels) will not awaken them.
