Stage 1 “light sleep”. In this stage of light sleep‚ which lasts about 5 to 10 minutes our brains activity powers down by 50 percent or more‚ producing theta waves. Theta waves occur four to seven times per second. Moreover‚ these waves are slower than the beta waves of 13 or more times per second produced during active alert states and the alpha waves of 8 to 12 times per second when we’re quiet and relaxed. As we start to drift off to deeper sleep‚ we become more relaxed‚ and we may experience
