What happens to the body in N1
Light sleep, muscle tone decrease, occasional muscle twitch
What happens to the body in N2
Breathing and heart rate slows, slights decrease in body temp
What happens to the body in N3
Deep sleep begins, breathing is rhythmic
What happens during REM
Rapid eye movements, absence of muscle tone, breathing and heart rate are erratic
