3,4. Both stages are now combined and are just called stage 3, SWS ( slow wave sleep) or deep sleep. Stage 3 is the deepest stage.
Stage 4 sleep. Stage 3 also often emits delta waves.
There are 4 stages of sleep: Stage 1, Stage 2, Slow wave sleep, and REM. The stages occur in that order. Stage 1 occurs as you are falling asleep, and REM occurs last and contains the craziest dreams. REM is the most difficult to awaken from, so it is likely the stage that you have heard referred to as 'deep sleep'.
yes there is a games called Deep Sleep actually you can play it for free with out downloading i swear!
The brain wave associated with deep sleep is called delta waves. These slow brain waves are characteristic of the deepest stages of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Delta waves are most prominent during the restorative stage of sleep known as slow-wave sleep.
The stage during which it is most difficult to wake someone is the "deep sleep" stage. During this stage, brain waves, breathing, and heart rate are the slowest.

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.
The rhythmic bursts of brain activity that occur during Stage 2 sleep are called sleep spindles. These are short bursts of brain waves that help in the consolidation of memories and are characteristic of this stage of sleep.
Slow-wave sleep is a stage of deep sleep that is characterized by synchronized brain activity known as delta waves. During this stage, the body restores energy, repairs tissues, and releases growth hormones. Slow-wave sleep is important for physical health, cognitive function, and overall well-being.
It happens in the 4th stage
REM sleep is important because this it the stage of sleep helps our brains develop.
