NREM Stage N1

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Stage N1 is the transition into sleep, marked by slowed brain waves and easy awakening.

Show

A person nodding off in a chair jerks awake and insists they were not asleep.

Watch for

The sense of not having slept is common in N1. Subjective report and recorded stage separate here.
