NREM stands for non rapid eye movement... its a dreamless sleep where breathing and heart rate are regular, the blood pressure is below normal and the sleeper is still. NREM sleep is divided into 4 stages of increasing depth leading to REM sleep.

During what cycle of sleep does the body do most of its energy restoration?
The most restorative stage of sleep is NREM-3.In a sleep cycle you progress through the stages:Initial sleep induction: NREM-1 -> NREM-2 -> NREM-3Full sleep cycle: NREM-3 -> NREM-2 -> NREM-1 -> REM -> NREM-1 -> NREM-2 -> NREM-3.A full sleep cycle takes approximately 90 minutes, but the time you spend in each stage changes during the night. At first you spend more time in stage 3, but as your body rests it will spend more and more time in REM.
