Stages of Sleep
Usually sleepers pass through five stages: 1, 2, 3, 4 and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. These stages progress cyclically from 1 through REM then begin again with stage 1. A complete sleep cycle takes an average of 90 to 110 minutes. The first sleep cycles each night have relatively short REM sleeps and long periods of deep sleep but later in the night, REM periods lengthen and deep sleep time decreases. Stage 1 is light sleep where you drift in and out of sleep and can be awakened easily. In stage 2, eye movement stops and brain waves become slower with only an occasional burst of rapid brain waves. Slow wave sleep comes mostly in the first half of the night, REM in the second half. In the REM period, breathing becomes more rapid, irregular and shallow, eyes jerk rapidly and limb muscles are temporarily paralyzed. Infants spend almost 50% of their time in REM sleep. The brain waveform during REM has low amplitudes and high frequencies, just like the waking state. Microsleep

Hypnagogia Main Page
Sometimes the word hypnagogia is used in a restricted sense to refer to the onset of sleep, and contrasted with hypnopompia, Fredierick Myers’ term for waking up. However, hypnagogia is also regularly employed in a more general sense that covers both falling asleep and waking up. Other terms for hypnagogia, in one or both senses, that have been proposed include presomnal or anthypnic sensations, visions of half-sleep, oneirogogic images and phantasmata, the borderland of sleep, ‘half-dream state, pre-dream condition, sleep onset dreams, and wakefulness-sleep transition’ state (WST). Transition to and from sleep may be attended by a wide variety of sensory experiences. Hypnagogic imagery is often auditory or has an auditory component.
