Sleep Stages
Your sleep is divided into various stages: light, deep, and REM (Rapid
Eye Movement). A healthy combination of the three ensures a more
restful and restorative sleep.
Light sleep takes up the majority of your sleep time and is important
for the development of muscle memory. During this stage, your
breathing becomes more regular and shallow as you transition into
deep sleep.
During deep sleep, many physical functions slow down, which is
necessary to revitalize both the body and immune system. During this
stage, your breathing rate is slowest and the most regular.
Rapid Eye Movement or REM is the period of sleep in which you
dream the most. Eye movements are rapid and random, memories are
stored and the brain is regenerated. During this stage, your breathing
becomes more irregular as you process your dreams and your mind
recharges.
