Sleep stages decoded in 5 fast facts
N1 is the lightest non-REM stage, a brief transition from wakefulness, often just a few minutes.
N2 is the stage with sleep spindles and K-complexes, often 10 to 25 minutes in the first cycle.
N3 is the deepest non-REM sleep, or slow-wave sleep, and is most concentrated early at night.
REM brings vivid dreaming, rapid eye movements, and temporary muscle atonia, usually starting about 90 minutes after sleep begins.
Micro-arousals are brief wake intrusions during sleep, commonly lasting about 3 to 15 seconds.
