• Sleep: what is its role ?.
• What is the mechanism that induces sleep? We do not yet know. What happens to mind and body whilst we sleep? Again, we do not fully understand. We do know, nevertheless, that sleep consists of several stages, 1 to 4, which reflects the transition from stage 1 (drowsiness), through stages 2 (light sleep), to stages 3 and 4 (deep, restorative, slow wave sleep). Sleep is also made up of two very different states – rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and non-REM sleep. In periods of REM sleep, which occur 4 or more times per night and typically last around 20 minutes, the eyes flicker rapidly up and down under the eyelids, and body processes such as blood pressure and heart rate are boosted. ... REM sleep alternates with much longer periods of non-REM sleep, when the body’s overall activity level falls. The depth of non-REM sleep becomes lighter as the night progresses.

In normal sleep, REM occurs about 90 minutes after a person falls asleep.
