NREM And REM Sleep

NREM And REM Sleep

  • NREM Sleep- Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep. It is the type of sleep when you don’t dream. It is what most people associate with sleep. It is a very relaxed type of sleep that gets progressively deeper through three stages called N1, N2, and N3.
  • REM Sleep- Rapid Eye Movement Sleep. This sleep is your dream state. Your eyes move rapidly. It is a rather active sort of sleep in which the brain is almost as active as if it were awake. It is also called paradoxical sleep because you only look like you are fast asleep but there is a lot of stuff happening inside your brain.
