Dreams are images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur in the mind when we sleep.

The Different Stages Of Sleep

The 6 Stages Of Sleep

Light Sleep

You start off with a light sleep where you are still very alert and if you hear any sounds it will cause you to wake up.

Light Sleep

Stage 1

The next stage is the theta stage this is a short stage that only lasts 10 minutes. This is where the brain produces theta waves.

Stage 2

The next stage of sleep is stage 2. during this stage, the brain produces short rapid bursts of rhythm called sleep spindles. In this stage the body temperature decreases and your heart rate begins to slow down.

2nd Stage

Stage 3

The next stage is delta wave/ stage 3 sleep. This is when your body temperature drastically lowers and your heart rate slows and your breathing starts to become very deep and controlled. This is because your body is preparing for a deep and long sleep.

Stage 4

The next stage is delta sleep/ stage 4 sleep, which is when you go into a very deep lasting 30 minutes.

4th Stage

Stage 5

The final stage is REM. This is the time where your brain becomes the most active. This is the part where you are able to have vivid or lucid dreams. Your muscles will be very relaxed and paralyzed.
