Infant behavior is divided into sleep and awake states. REM sleep is accompanied by irregular respirations, visible REM activity under closed eyelids, and irregular sucking motions. Jerking movements may occur during crying as the infant discharges energy. When offending stimulation is removed, infants tend to fall back to sleep. Quiet motor activity occurs during the wide-awake state. Stimulation increases motor activity in the active alert state.
