Sleep is divided into two main categories: non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. NREM sleep has 4 stages that progress from light sleep to deep sleep. REM sleep is characterized by rapid eye movements and vivid dreaming. NREM sleep makes up 75% of total sleep and provides restoration, while REM sleep makes up 25% and supports brain development and memory consolidation. Understanding the stages of sleep is important for diagnosing sleep disorders.

Stages of sleep
• Sleep is unconsciousness from which a person
can be aroused by sensory or other stimuli Stages of sleep • NREM Subdivided : 1. Stage 1 (NREM 1) 2. Stage 2 (NREM 2) 3. Stage 3 According American Academy of 4. Stage 4 Sleep, stage 3 and 4 became • REM NREM 3 Non REM • Deep, restful sleep • Occurs the 1st hour of sleep • Decreased peripheral vascular & vegetative function (↓BP, ↓RR, ↓BMR) • Dreamless sleep STAGE 1 • Transtitional phase between wakefulness and more definite sleep. • Arousal threshold is low • Brain wave : diminished alpha wave, diffused theta • Experience “hypnic jerks” : brief muscle jerk that may happen along with falling sensation • Lasts 5 minutes • 5 % sleep time Awake stage (eye closed) Stage 1 Stage 2 • Phenomenological experience of falling asleep • Lasts 10-15 minutes • 50 % sleep time • Brain wave : sleep spindle (burst brain actvity, 13-16 Hz) & K complex (high amplitude) Stage 2 Stage 3&4 (NREM 3) • Deep sleep, slow-wave sleep • Brain wave : delta wave / slow wave (high amplitude, 0.5 – 4 Hz) • Difficult to wake, if someone awakened from NREM 3 (after 30”-1’) is extremely groggy and disoriented • Lasts 20-40 minutes • 20% sleep time • Likely to occur nightmares, sleep walking, sleep talking Stage 3&4 REM • Disebut juga paradoxical sleep atau desynchronized sleep • Type of sleep in which brain is quite active • Not so restful sleep, vivid dreaming • Enter REM sleep about 90 minutes after falling sleep & going through all NREM stages. • Lasts 5-30 minutes • 25% sleep time Characteristic REM sleep • Rapid eye movement (associated with dreaming) • ↑HR, ↑BP, ↓body temperature, ↑RR • Muscle tone decreased (prevent people acting out their dreams) • Brain metabolism ↑ 20% • Brain wave : diffuse theta (similar to NREM 1)
