Abstract

Sleep is universal, irresistible, and heterogeneous. In mammals, sleep is traditionally divided in to non-rapid eye movement (NREM) 1–4 and rapid eye movement (REM) stages, each with defining patterns of brain activity. Specifically, slow, synchronous delta waves, spindles, and isolated negative
