Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) Sleep
Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep, which is divided into three stages, is a phase of sleep without rapid eye movements. The transition into NREM sleep is marked by a general shift in brain wave activity, characterized by a decrease in frequency and an increase in amplitude. Each stage within NREM sleep has its own distinct pattern of brain waves.

Visual Representation of Brainwaves in Sleep Stages
A sleep researcher observes a participant's brain wave activity. At one point in the night, the readout shows low-frequency, high-amplitude waves. Later, the readout shows high-frequency, low-amplitude waves, similar to an awake state, accompanied by rapid eye movements. What is the most fundamental conclusion that can be drawn from these distinct patterns?

As an individual transitions from a state of relaxed wakefulness into the phases of sleep characterized by the absence of rapid eye movements, what is the general trend observed in their brain wave patterns?
As an individual transitions from a state of quiet wakefulness into the phases of sleep characterized by a lack of rapid eye movements, what is the most accurate description of the general change in their brain wave activity?
