The third stage of the sleep cycle is also called the deep sleep stage or slow-wave sleep (SWS) and is characterized by the lowest level of brain activity. It is during this stage that sleepwalking or somnambulism is most likely to occur. REM sleep, the first stage, and the second stage are not associated with sleepwalking.
