Figure 12.19 Types and stages of sleep.
Awake
REM: Skeletal muscles (except
ocular muscles and diaphragm)
are actively inhibited; most
dreaming occurs.
NREM stage 1: Relaxation
begins; EEG shows alpha waves;
arousal is easy.
NREM stage 2: Irregular EEG
with sleep spindles (short highamplitude bursts); arousal is more
difficult.
NREM stage 3: Sleep deepens;
theta and delta waves appear; vital
signs decline.
Typical EEG patterns
NREM stage 4: EEG is
dominated by delta waves;
arousal is difficult; bed-wetting,
night terrors, and sleepwalking
may occur.
