Sleep Patern: NREM & NREM

1. Non-REM sleep (sometimes called NREM), which includes light and deep sleep, accounts for about the majority of our sleeping time.

2. REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is where we may spend some of our time dreaming. This typically takes place during the last half of our night’s sleep.

While we’re snoozing, we usually go through 4-5 sleep cycles that begin in light NREM sleep and end in REM sleep with each cycle taking between 70 and 120 minutes to complete.
