brain waves

1. Stage 1 - alpha waves: neural activity decreases

2. Stage 2 - sleep spindles: neural activity decreasing. Easily woken up.

3. Stage 3 & 4 - "deep sleep" - delta waves : brain is least active. Feel worse after getting 8 hrs. of sleep.

4. REM

• "Paradoxical Sleep": Brain extremely active -> body is "locked down"; body doesn't move.

• Dreaming

• Rapid eye movement

20 minute nap = coffee; 6-8 hrs. of energy; Stage 1 & 2 90 minutes = more energy (boost); Awake -> REM Stage 3 & 4 - danger zone

2. REM Rebound - put body in REM earlier & stay in longer
