Enjoy Your Sleep

And don't be a Thomas Edison!

But What is a Delta Wave?

• "Delta waves are the slowest of all you brainwaves" (Drew)



• Has 0-4 Hz. of frequency



• Associated with brain while "unconscious"



• The least understood

Brain levels of 0.1 Hz and lower results in a dead brain

Theta waves are associated with your "subconscious"

Non-REM

Non-REM has a couple stages of its own:

1. Light Sleep: The initial stage of sleep. It is quite easy to be woken up during this phase because you are not in a deep sleep.


2. True Sleep: Heart rate and breathing slows significantly. (Process last for nearly 20 minutes)


3. Deep Sleep 1: Heart and breathing rates continue to lessen and the brain begins a session in which produces Delta Waves.


4. Deep Sleep 2: Muscle activity is the lowest. (As a result, waking up can make you groggy or heavy)

REM Sleeping

Rapid Eye Movement is a stage or phase of sleep. It mostly depends on how far into your trance you are. Humans enter this particular stage nearly 6 times per session.

During REM:

• Brain activity becomes active



• Eye movement increases



• Breathing rises



• Blood pressure hightens



• Dreams usually (and mostly) occur

The Science Behind Sleeping

"Thomas Edison slept 3-4 hours at night, regarding sleep as a waste of time"



There are two types of sleeping "modes":

• REM (Rapid Eye Movement)



• Non-REM
