Sleep Stage Analysis
A sleep study participant's brain wave recordings show high-frequency, low-amplitude waves, very similar to those of someone who is awake and alert. Simultaneously, monitoring of their muscle activity shows a near-complete lack of tone in their voluntary muscles. Which statement best analyzes this physiological state?
