1. Theta activity- (3.5-7.5 Hz) stage 1 sleep
-Transition stage between sleep and wakefulness
-Drowsy
2. Stage 2 sleep- irregular EEG consisting of theta activity with sleep spindles and k complexes
-soundly sleeping
3. Stage 3 sleep- occurrence of delta activity ( high amplitude waves less 3.5Hz)
-20 to 50% delta activity
4.Stage 4 sleep- more than 50% delta activity |

Term
| Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep |
|
Definition
-Also called paradoxical sleep
- After approx 90 min sleep EEG becomes desynchronized with theta activity
-eye moves rapidly- EOG and EMG activity goes silent
-Presence of theta and beta
-Promote brain development and learning |
