What is the definition of sleep as described in the study material?
Reduced consciousness and rest
Sleep involves four stages of NREM sleep and one stage of REM sleep.
EEG
Match the stage of sleep with its corresponding brain wave pattern:
NREM Stage 1 ↔️ Theta waves
NREM Stage 2 ↔️ Theta waves with sleep spindles
NREM Stage 3 ↔️ Delta waves
REM ↔️ Beta waves
Beta waves are associated with dreaming during
REM sleep
.
Order the stages of sleep from lightest to deepest based on EEG wave patterns:
1️⃣ NREM Stage 1: Theta waves
2️⃣ NREM Stage 2: Theta waves with sleep spindles
3️⃣ NREM Stage 3: Delta waves
4️⃣ NREM Stage 4: Delta waves
What type of brain waves are dominant during deep sleep in NREM Stage 3?
Delta waves
Sleep stages are characterized by unique brain wave patterns measured by an
EEG
REM sleep is characterized by
beta waves
and dreaming.
Match the sleep stage with its key feature:
NREM Stage 1 ↔️ Transition to sleep
NREM Stage 2 ↔️ Light sleep
NREM Stage 3 ↔️ Deep sleep
NREM Stage 4 ↔️ Deepest sleep
REM ↔️ Dreaming
Which sleep stage is associated with the transition to sleep and theta waves?
NREM Stage 1
NREM Stage 2 is characterized by theta waves and sleep
spindles
What is the deepest stage of NREM sleep characterized by delta waves?
NREM Stage 4
REM sleep involves
beta waves
and dreaming.
Order the stages of sleep in terms of depth, starting from lightest to deepest:
1️⃣ NREM Stage 1
2️⃣ NREM Stage 2
3️⃣ NREM Stage 3
4️⃣ NREM Stage 4
What are the five stages of sleep as described in the study material?
Four NREM, one REM
Match the stage of sleep with its key EEG wave pattern:
NREM Stage 1 ↔️ Theta waves
NREM Stage 2 ↔️ Theta waves with sleep spindles
NREM Stage 3 ↔️ Delta waves
REM ↔️ Beta waves
What type of brain waves characterize NREM Stage 1 sleep?
Theta waves
NREM Stage 2 is characterized by theta waves with sleep
spindles
.
NREM Stage3 is associated with
delta waves
and deep sleep.
Which stage of sleep is referred to as the deepest sleep?
NREM Stage 4
Dreaming primarily occurs during REM sleep, characterized by
beta waves
.
The stages of sleep show a progression from light to deep sleep and back to a dreaming
stage
.
What is the key function of NREM Stage 3 sleep?
Deep physical recovery
REM sleep is essential for cognitive processing, particularly memory consolidation and emotional
regulation
.
Sleep enhances cognitive functions such as memory
consolidation
and decision-making.
What is the physiological measure used to characterize sleep stages?
EEG
Match the stage of sleep with its muscle tone:
NREM 1 ↔️ Relaxed
NREM 3 ↔️ Very relaxed
REM ↔️ Atonia
What are the two main types of sleep stages?
NREM and REM
Sleep is characterized by unique brain wave patterns measured by an
EEG
Sleep involves four stages of
NREM
sleep and one stage of REM sleep.
What type of EEG waves are present in NREM Stage 1 sleep?
Theta waves
What is a key feature of NREM Stage 2 sleep?
Light sleep
Delta waves are characteristic of NREM Stage
3
Arrange the sleep stages in the order they typically occur.
1️⃣ NREM Stage 1
2️⃣ NREM Stage 2
3️⃣ NREM Stage 3
4️⃣ NREM Stage 4
5️⃣ REM
Match each sleep stage with its corresponding key feature:
NREM Stage 1 ↔️ Transition to sleep
NREM Stage 2 ↔️ Light sleep
NREM Stage 3 ↔️ Deep sleep
NREM Stage 4 ↔️ Deepest sleep
REM ↔️ Dreaming
What EEG wave patterns are present during NREM Stage 1 sleep?
Theta waves
What is a key feature of NREM Stage 3 sleep?
Deep sleep
Which sleep stage is characterized by beta waves and dreaming?
REM
The four stages of NREM sleep are followed by one stage of
REM
What physiological change occurs during NREM Stage 1 sleep?
Transition to sleep
