Understanding the Fascinating Characteristics of REM Sleep
06:58 - 17:57 (10:58)
REM sleep is a distinct stage of sleep where the brainwave activity can be measured, and the body becomes paralyzed. During REM sleep, a person experiences dream sleep and is physically locked inside their body.

Summary
Despite having dramatically different conscious states, measuring brainwave activity in both wakefulness and REM sleep shows only slight differences, making it difficult to distinguish between the two. This paradox offers insight into the complexity of the brain's systems and the state of consciousness.
