Is rem sleep deep?
3/13/2012 jhh: REM sleep is NOT deep sleep. In fact, it is the
lightest stage of sleep. In order from awake to deep sleep: AWAKE,
REM, LIGHT, DEEP. Deep sleep and REM sleep are the most important
stages though. Light sleep doesn't do much for you. Deep
replenishes your body, while REM replenishes your mind.
Older answer (not accurate):
Yes. It is the deeper form of sleep that we experience during
our sleep cycle, rem sleep is where dreaming occurs
But not the deepest sleep, which would be delta. That's where,
unless your a mother and hear your baby cry, you are oblivious to
your environment.
