Describe what happens to your heart rate, body temperature, and brain wave activity as you progress from stage one to stage four of non-REM sleep.

As you progress from stage one to stage four of non-REM sleep, your heart rate decreases, your body temperature drops, and your brain wave activity slows down.

The video mentions that non-REM and REM sleep engage in a 'cerebral war' throughout the night. How long does one full cycle of this 'war' last, and how does the composition of non-REM and REM sleep change throughout the night?

One full cycle lasts approximately 90 minutes. In the first half of the night, the cycles are comprised mostly of deep non-REM sleep (stages 3 and 4), while in the second half of the night, the cycles contain more REM sleep and stage 2 non-REM sleep.

According to the video, which of the following is NOT a primary function associated with REM sleep?

During deep non-REM sleep, the body recharges its immune system and overhauls its cardiovascular system, while the brain consolidates memories.

Most vivid dreams occur during REM sleep, which also provides emotional first aid and boosts creativity.
