Paradoxical Sleep

Paradoxical sleep, also known as REM sleep, is a stage of sleep characterized by rapid eye movement and active brain activity. During this stage, our muscles are relaxed, and our most vivid dreams occur. It is called paradoxical sleep because it exhibits a combination of both deep sleep-like features and brain activity resembling wakefulness.

Sample sentences:

During paradoxical sleep, the brain is highly active, resembling the wakeful state.
Paradoxical sleep plays a crucial role in the formation of memories and learning processes.
It is during paradoxical sleep that lucid dreaming, where the dreamer is aware of dreaming, can often occur.
