Polysomnography reveals a structured progression of sleep stages, each with distinct brain and body activity. Stage 1 is transitional, with rolling eye movements. Stage 2, true sleep, features K-complexes and spindles. Stages 3 and 4 are deep sleep, marked by high amplitude delta waves. After deep sleep, REM sleep occurs, characterized by rapid eye movements and muscle relaxation.
