The description given matches the characteristics of Stage 3 or 4 sleep, also known as deep sleep or slow wave sleep. During this stage, it is difficult to wake someone up and their breathing, heart rate, and muscle activity are all decreased. REM sleep is characterized by rapid eye movements, dreaming, and increased brain activity, so it does not match the given description. Stage 1 and Stage 2 sleep are lighter stages and do not exhibit the same level of relaxation and difficulty in waking up as Stage 3 or 4 sleep.
