Yes. If you are able to hold your baby, you can do skin-to-skin. Tiny babies on breathing machines, IVs, and heart monitors can often be held skin-to-skin. In fact, they often do better in this position: their heart rate, breathing and temperature are more stable.
Most dreaming occurs during the fourth stage of sleep, known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. REM sleep is characterized by eye movement, increased respiration rate and increased brain activity. The American Sleep Foundation suggests that people spend approximately 20 percent of their total sleep in this stage.
1 Another dreamless stage of sleep, it is actually the most likely time for sleepwalking to occur. 2  REM Sleep marks the onset of dreaming. 3  It's known as paradoxical sleep because the sleeper, though showing more active brainwaves than before, is harder to awaken.
