Compare and contrast rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep. Do we dream during each type of sleep? If so, are there distinctions between REM and non-REM dreams?
What will be an ideal response?
Specialists refer to sleep stages 1-4 as non-REM sleep. REM is an active stage of sleep that occurs in stage 5. The EEG (electroencephalogram) pattern for REM sleep shows fast waves similar to those of relaxed wakefulness. During REM sleep, the sleeper's eyeballs move up and down and from left to right. Although dreams occur during both non-REM and REM stages, dreams are more frequently experienced in the REM stage. REM dreams are typically longer, more vivid, more physically active, more emotionally charged, and less related to waking life than non-REM dreams.
