This is recorded during a sleep study with a test called an electroencephalogram (EEG).Īfter an hour or two of NREM sleep, brain activity picks up again. During this stage, brain waves slow down. The typical process of falling asleep begins with a sleep stage called non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. It can identify if or when your sleep patterns are disrupted and why.

Polysomnography monitors your sleep stages and cycles.
