Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is also known as paradoxical sleep because it is a state of deep sleep with high brain activity, rapid eye movements, and muscle paralysis. Despite being in a deep sleep, the brain is highly active and resembles the activity seen during wakefulness. This is why it is paradoxical in nature. Non-REM sleep is a different state of sleep characterized by slow brain waves and is divided into stages 1-3, with stage 3 being the deepest. Light sleep typically refers to stage 1 of non-REM sleep. Delta wave sleep is another term for stage 3 of non-REM sleep.
