    Sleep progresses through different stages characterized by different brain waves and physical reactions. Stage 1 is a transition to sleep with some alpha waves. Stage 2 has theta waves and sleep spindles. Stages 3 and 4 are deep, slow-wave sleep with delta waves that can cause bedwetting or sleepwalking. REM sleep has beta waves similar to wakefulness but with rapid eye movements and increased blood flow and twitching.
