: Ideal for identifying sleep spindles and K-complexes.
Stage N1 represents the initial, fragile transition from wakefulness to light sleep. It typically accounts for 2–5% of total sleep time.

Suggested design tips
An EEG, or , is a non-invasive test that uses small metal discs called electrodes attached to the scalp to measure electrical impulses produced by brain cells. These impulses appear on a recording as wavy, variable-frequency lines.
: Sleep-deprived EEGs can uncover abnormal activity not seen while awake. Suggested Visuals for Your PPT:
: Cortical responses to internal or external stimuli, representing a mechanism that keeps the cortex suppressed. Slide 7: Non-REM Stage N3 – Slow-Wave Sleep (SWS) Core Concept : Deep, highly synchronized, restorative sleep. Front (Nasion) Fp1 Fp2 F3 Fz F4 C3
This report provides a comprehensive yet concise overview of the role of EEG in understanding sleep physiology.
Measures muscle tone, typically using electrodes placed on the chin, which is crucial for identifying the muscle atonia (paralysis) characteristic of REM sleep. 3. EEG Waveforms Found in Wakefulness and Sleep
: Distinct bursts of 11–16 Hz activity (most commonly 12–14 Hz) lasting at least 0.5 seconds. These impulses appear on a recording as wavy,
