During the night, you cycle through five separate stages of sleep every 90 to 110 minutes, experiencing between three and five dream periods each night. The five stages of sleep can be distinguished by changes in the electrical activity in your brain, measured by electroencephalogram (EEG).
Every night during REM sleep (when dreams occur), the body shuts down voluntary muscle activity, inducing a state of paralysis known as REM atonia, or REM sleep paralysis. The idea is to prevent you from acting out your dreams. Occasionally, this state carries on for a brief while after a person wakes up.
