Waking up and dream phases

Do you want to wake up refreshed and full of energy?  The moment when exactly we wake up tells us how easily we will get up from bed.  Knowing the phases of your sleep, you can schedule to wake up in the most favorable time. It happens because our brain once is sleeping very deeply, and once very shallow. The
more accurate we wake up between phases, the more rested we will be.

The phases of sleep are closely linked with the various states of consciousness, in which the brain works in a different brainwave frequencies.

Before you even lie down to sleep, our brain operates at a frequency beta ( 12-28 Hz). It is a state of readiness typical of normal daily activity. At the moment we go to sleep, brain activity decreases. Calms the mind and the brain begins to work in the frequency alpha ( 8-13 Hz). These are the waves responsible for the state of relaxation. Activated before bed and immediately upon waking, sometimes during the day - for example, while thinking. This period of falling asleep lasts about 10-15 minutes.

Then, first phase begins, in which the brain works in waves theta (4- 7Hz). In our mind, there are detached from each other, sounds, illogical associations. These are hipnagos, which accompany us always while falling asleep. Gradually, we lose touch with reality.

Phase two - we fall asleep , turns off consciousness.
In third phase brain works in the delta frequency ( - 3 Hz), and it is already working to the end of Phase 4 Both phases are a deep sleep. Breathing becomes regular, decreases blood pressure, decreases muscle tension and body temperature. The body is resting. If someone wakes up in this moment, you will be very drowsy and distracted and in the morning you will not remember it. Initially, the deep sleep takes up to 60 minutes, and the closer to the morning, this phase is shorter and shorter. The brain waves accelerate slowly and brain goes through all the phases in reverse order. However, instead phase one is REM - Rapid Eye Movement.
