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 In 2007, these were combined into just stage 3 for all of deep sleep. 2  Dreaming is more common in this stage than in other stages of NREM sleep though not as common as in REM sleep. 3  The content of SWS dreams tends to be disconnected, less vivid, and less memorable than those that occur during REM sleep.
