A sleep stage refers to a specific period in the natural sleep cycle, characterized by distinct patterns of brain activity, eye movements, and physiological responses. Sleep is generally divided into two major stages: rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM (NREM) sleep.

Non-REM (NREM) sleep : This phase is subdivided into several stages, ranging from light sleep to deep sleep. Each stage is characterized by increasing levels of muscle relaxation and sleep depth, with brain activity gradually slowing down.

Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep : This phase is associated with intense brain activity, rapid eye movements, and muscle relaxation. It is during this phase that most dreams occur, and it plays a crucial role in memory consolidation and emotional processing.

Each sleep cycle consists of several stages of sleep, with alternating between NREM and REM sleep. These stages repeat throughout the night, forming a complete sleep cycle.
