Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paradoxical sleep is another term for REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, characterized by rapid eye movements and a high level of brain activity, similar to when one is awake. Slow-wave sleep refers to the deep sleep stages, particularly NREM-3, where brain activity slows down, and it becomes harder to wake someone up. Thus, REM sleep is to NREM-3 sleep as paradoxical sleep is to slow-wave sleep.
