-
Some of you are awake but non attentive and your brain's giving you these large,
-
regular alpha waves. Some of you are sound asleep, deep in delta.
-
When you sleep you get the following stages.
-
You start off with a transition period when you're falling asleep.
-
We call that stage I. Then you get successively deeper,
-
II through IV, slow, irregular, high amplitude delta waves,
-
and then once you reach stage IV you start going up again,
-
up through stage III and II. Then REM sleep emerges, rapid eye movement sleep.
-
REM sleep is neat because your brain looks like it's wide awake
-
but And I'm going to talk a little bit more in detail about this later.
-
You're relaxed, your rapid eye movements occur;
-
that's where your--the name comes from
