Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microsleep is a brief episode of sleep that can happen during waking periods due to a momentary lapse in attention, and it can cause accidents, particularly while driving. REM sleep and non-REM sleep are stages of sleep, which are not typically experienced during wakefulness. Sleep spindles are bursts of brainwave activity that occur during stage 2 of non-REM sleep and are not associated with accidents.
