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

Consciousness- Our awareness of ourselves and our environment Biological rhythms- Periodic physiological fluctuations. Circadian rhythm- The Biological clock; regular bodily rhythms (for example‚ of temperature and wakefulness) that occur on a 24 hour cycle.

The ep moves us through them‚ gives us 5 cycles a night and wakes us at the end of the 5th cycle.
