In stage N3 sleep, slow waves continue to develop until 50% of the EEG waveforms are slow wave.This stage of sleep is often referred to as slow-wave sleep.The release of other hormones, such as prolactin and testosterone, suggests that anabolism occurs during the slow-wave sleep of stage N3.N1 sleep is a transitional, lighter sleep state from which the patient can be easily aroused by light touch or by softly calling his or her name.Stage N2 sleep occupies about 45% to 55% of the night, with sleep deepening and a higher arousal threshold being required to awaken the patient.N4 sleep does not exist.
