Sleep spindles involve activation in the brain in the areas of the thalamus, anterior cingulate and insular cortices, and the superior temporal gyri. The most spindle activity occurs at the beginning and the end of NREM. This is also the stage during which parasomnias most commonly occur. The content of SWS dreams tends to be disconnected, less vivid, and less memorable than those that occur during REM sleep. Dreaming is more common in this stage than in other stages of NREM sleep though not as common as in REM sleep. In 2007, these were combined into just stage 3 for all of deep sleep. Stage 3 was formerly the transition between stage 2 and stage 4 where delta waves, associated with "deep" sleep, began to occur, while delta waves dominated in stage 4. Stage 3 – previously divided into stages 3 and 4, is deep sleep, slow-wave sleep (SWS).EEG recordings tend to show characteristic " sleep spindles", which are short bursts of high frequency brain activity, and " K-complexes" during this stage. Stage 2 – no eye movement occurs, and dreaming is very rare.During the transition into stage-1 sleep, it is common to experience hypnic jerks. People aroused from this stage often believe that they have been fully awake. Alpha waves disappear and the theta wave appears. This state is sometimes referred to as relaxed wakefulness. Stage 1 – occurs mostly in the beginning of sleep, with slow eye movement.
#No deep sleep stage update#
That has been reduced to three in the 2007 update by The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). NREM sleep was divided into four stages in the Rechtschaffen and Kales (R&K) standardization of 1968. The reported differences between the REM and NREM activity are believed to arise from differences in the memory stages that occur during the two types of sleep. In addition, there is a parasympathetic dominance during NREM. The mental activity that occurs in NREM and REM sleep is a result of two different mind generators, which also explains the difference in mental activity. NREM sleep is characteristic of dreamer-initiated friendliness, compared to REM sleep where it's more aggressive, implying that NREM is in charge of simulating friendly interactions. According to studies, the mental activity that takes place during NREM sleep is believed to be thought-like, whereas REM sleep includes hallucinatory and bizarre content. People who do not go through the sleeping stages properly get stuck in NREM sleep, and because muscles are not paralyzed a person may be able to sleepwalk. Dreaming occurs during both sleep states, and muscles are not paralyzed as in REM sleep. Unlike REM sleep, there is usually little or no eye movement during these stages. There are distinct electroencephalographic and other characteristics seen in each stage. Rapid eye movement sleep (REM) is not included. Non-rapid eye movement sleep ( NREM), also known as quiescent sleep, is, collectively, sleep stages 1–3, previously known as stages 1–4.
