We welcome you to our beautiful city! This is truly an exciting time for Worcester. Major investments in transportation improvements such as roadway network reconstruction projects and the provision of commuter rail service at the magnificently renovated Union Station are generating new economic activity.
Since the early 20th century, human sleep has been described as a succession of five recurring stages: four non-REM stages and the REM stage. (A sixth stageârelaxed wakefulness, the phase during which a person falls asleepâis sometimes included).
Stage 5 - REM Sleep: REM sleep usually occurs in cycles during the last 5-6 hours of an 8-hour nightâs sleep. So how much sleep we get in this stage will depend on how much sleep we get for the night. During REM sleep, eye movements increase, heart rate increases, and the normal body processes also increase.
