Contemporary culture increasingly suffers from problems of attention, over-stimulation, and stress, and a variety of personal and social discontents generated by deceptive body images.

In the R&K standard, NREM sleep was divided into four stages, with slow-wave sleep comprising stages 3 and 4. In stage 3, delta waves made up less than 50% of the total wave patterns, while they made up more than 50% in stage 4. Furthermore, REM sleep was sometimes referred to as stage 5. In 2004, the AASM commissioned the AASM Visual Scoring Task Force to review the R&K scoring system.
Stages of Human Sleep. Following the discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in 1953, researchers learned that there are three basic states of consciousness: wakefulness, REM sleep, and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep.16(See Table 1.1.) REM sleep is âan active period of sleep marked by intense brain activity.
