The Stages of Sleep

There were four stages of sleep, three non-REM sleep, one REM sleep. The first two are a light state, gradual relaxation and temperature dropping. You also get something called myoclonic or hypnagogic jerks, which you will have experienced. That sensation that you're falling and you jerk awake.

My brain, I'm trying so hard. I'm like, sleep, you know, when you shut your eyes and sleepy and become sleepy and well, sleep
Speaker 1
happens if you're sleeping well enough. There you go, Ren, perfect. Perfect. That's a good, that's a good start. Something we are, we do want to stand very well is, is the stages of our sleep. I don't want to get into too much detail with this because I feel like the history of sleeping and understanding why we sleep and that kind of thing is in itself a big and great topic. But I thought I would tell you guys very quickly, the stages of sleep. You know what REM sleep is? You know what it stands for? Rapid eyelid movement or something like that. Just eye movement. Yeah, rapid eye movement. Very famously, the band REM did the song, Everybody Hurts, love that. Named after REM sleep, I assume. There were four stages of sleep, three non-REM sleep, one REM sleep. The first two are a light state, gradual relaxation, temperature dropping, brain slowing. You also, I think, which is, I think is interesting, in the first stage of sleep, you get something called myoclonic or hypnagogic jerks, which you will have experienced. That sensation that you're falling and you jerk awake.
Speaker 2
There's a really small indie album called Hypnic Jerks. Is there really? Yeah, we should assemble a playlist of all the sleep, scientific sleep.
Speaker 1
We should just make a, we should make a Let's Learn Everything playlist where we just like, every time we reference music that is silent, different relationships. It's
Speaker 2
so chaotic.
