The Sleep Cycle


Sleep is an important part of your daily routine, in fact, you spend about one-third of your life doing it. During sleep the human body goes trough 5 different stages which allow the brain and body to recuperate and develop.

Stage 1

The lightest stage of sleep. The EEG brain frequency is slightly slower than during wake time. Breathing occurs at a regular rate.

REM Sleep

Associated with dreaming. It is very different physiologically from the other stages of sleep. The EEG resembles wake time. However, the skeletal muscles are atonic, or without movement. The breathing is more erratic and irregular. The heart rate often increases.

Stage 2

The sleeper is less able to be awakened. It is characterized by 'saw tooth waves' and sleep spindles. As humans get older they spend less time in slow wave deep sleep (stages 3 and 4) and more time in this stage.

Stage 3

This is a progressively deeper stage of sleep. The EEG shows a much slower frequency with high amplitude signals (delta waves). A sleeper in this stage is often difficult to awaken.
