Sleep can be divided into 2 phases — non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) — and 4 stages that make a complete cycle. You’ll typically complete 4 to 6 cycles per night.

During each night, our sleep consists of four to six cycles, which are each broken down into three stages of NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep and finally, one stage of REM sleep.
You have two kinds of sleep: rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM). Your deepest sleep happens in stage 3 of NREM. It’s also called N3 or slow-wave sleep (SWS).
Mammalian sleep consists of cycles between two states: non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. However, the rules governing these cycles remain poorly understood.
