Here your body functions slow down even more. Your brainwaves become longer and slower as your body prepares for the next stage of sleep. NREM Stage 3. Stage 3, also known as slow wave sleep is the last stage of sleep. Here your body is in a deep sleep. Waking someone from this stage would be pretty difficult and if you managed it, they would feel very groggy, tired and disoriented.
Loomis provided the earliest detailed description of various stages of sleep in the mid-1930s, and in the early 1950s, Aserinsky and Kleitman identified rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Sleep is generally divided into 2 broad types: nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and REM sleep. Based on EEG changes, NREM is divided further into 4 stages (stage I, stage II, stage III, stage IV). NREM and REM occur in alternating cycles, each lasting approximately 90-100 minutes, with a total of 4-6 cycles.
