Best Answer

You have the alternate episodes of REM and NREM types of sleep. REM sleep is characterized by rapid eye moment type of sleep. You can easily spot that the person is moving his eye ball and flickers the eye lids. The electroencephalogram of the patient is specific for REM and NREM sleep.
