COMPLETE Intro Psychology Course - ALL TOPICS - Stages of Sleep (Intro Psych Tutorial #103)

www.psychexamreview.com In this video I introduce the different stages of sleep and the brain waves associated with each. NREM Stages 1 and 2 are characterized by theta waves, while NREM Stage 3 slow-wave sleep is associated with delta waves. REM sleep features increased brain activity, heart rate, respiration, and sexual arousal, accompanied by rapid eye movements and body paralysis and is the stage of sleep associated with vivid dreaming. Finally I look at how we cycle through these different stages over the course of a night's sleep. Don’t forget to subscribe to the channel to see future videos!
