so somewhat stands towards what when which while
__0__centuries, sleep was a complete mystery. In the last few years, __1__, scientists have been able to use new
technology to investigate electrical and muscular states of the body during sleep. These investigations have shed
new light on the six recurring stages of sleep, __2__were first described in the early 20th century. It is fair to say
that we now have a much better understanding of __3__actually happens to us when we are sleeping, though it is
far from a totally clear picture.
The first stage of sleeping is called, __4__confusingly, ‘waking’. By this, sleep scientists mean a short period of
wakefulness, just a matter of minutes, when the body is relaxed and prepares for sleep. Tense muscles relax, eye
movement slows down, and the body slips gently __5__drowsiness.
__6__feeling drowsy, the sleeper has moved into a period known to the scientists __7__‘stage 1 sleep’, a period
which lasts no more than ten minutes. A way of describing this stage is to say that the sleeper is __8__the very
edge of sleep, with their eyes closed and their bodies still. However, it wouldn’t be difficult to rouse a person at
this stage. And once awake, a person may feel as __9__he or she has not slept.
By stage 2, the sleeper has entered a period of light sleep, perhaps best explained as a time __10__the muscles
of the body hover between being completely relaxed and being responsive. Then, as the heart rate quickly slows
down, and the body temperature drops, the body prepares to enter a much __11__phase of sleep. The third and
fourth stage of sleep are when the body is completely asleep, its muscles paralysed, its breathing regular.
What happens __12__is quite unexpected. From the deep sleep of stage 4, the body works backwards through
stage 3 sleep to the light sleep of stage 2, but then, __13__of waking, it enters the bizarre and magical stage of
REM sleep. The body has been asleep for about an hour and a half before reaching this stage.
REM __14__for ‘rapid eye movement’. The heart rate speeds up, breathing becomes erratic, and the brain
becomes very active. The sleeper is dreaming, something that only happens during the REM stage. Fortunately,
however, __15__the brain is in overdrive, the rest of the body’s muscles are paralysed.
The initial REM stage is over after ten minutes or__16__. Then, the body starts its sleep cycle all over again, with
the next REM stage taking a __17__longer. In a typical night’s sleep, there will be five different sleep cycles with
the final REM stage lasting as__18__ as an hour.
Naturally, there are many factors which influence our sleep cycle, not least age. Small children get more deep
sleep than anybody__19__, and, as a general rule, the older we get the shorter the time we spend in deep sleep.
But, while stage 3 and stage 4 of the sleep cycle shorten with age, the first REM stage lengthens.
So, there you have it. Next time you go to bed and __20__your head on the pillow, just imagine what adventures
your sleeping self is about to set off on.
