During Rem Sleep the Electroencephalogram Will Show?

Following a period of slow-wave sleep, however, EEG recordings show that the stages of sleep reverse to reach a quite different state called rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep. In REM sleep, the EEG recordings are remarkably similar to that of the awake state (see Figure 28.5).

Can you see during REM sleep?

REM stands for rapid eye movement. During REM sleep, your eyes move around rapidly in a range of directions, but don't send any visual information to your brain. That doesn't happen during non-REM sleep. First comes non-REM sleep, followed by a shorter period of REM sleep, and then the cycle starts over again.

Which wave is seen in REM sleep?

Delta waves are associated with the deep sleep stages, stage 3 and REM. During stage 3, less than half of brain waves consist of delta waves, while more than half of brain activity consists of delta waves during REM sleep.
