PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Sleepwalking occurs during slow-wave sleep (N3) of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM sleep) cycles. It typically occurs within the first third of the night when slow-wave sleep is most prominent. Usually, it will occur once in a night, if at all.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sleepwalking is a disorder of arousal, meaning it occurs during N3 sleep, the deepest stage of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Another NREM disorder is sleep terrors, which can occur together with sleepwalking. Many factors can contribute to sleepwalking, including: Sleep deprivation.

Detailed explanation-3: -During this stage, your muscles become more relaxed and you may begin to have slow-wave (delta) brain activity. Stage N3 is deep sleep and lasts about 20 to 40 minutes. During this stage, delta brain activity increases and you may have some body movements. It is very hard to wake up someone in stage N3.

Detailed explanation-4: -These episodes usually occur during non-REM, delta ("slow wave") sleep, during which the arousal threshold is particularly high.
