Top Sleep Frequencies | Frequency of Brain Waves
http://www.sleepresourcecenter.org - Beta waves - EEG (brain) wave activity with a frequency of 13 to 35 hertz (cycles per second) that is typically seen in active wakefulness and also associated with taking psychotropic drugs, in which the eyes blink repeatedly. Brain-Wave Rhythms - Patterns of electrical activity of the brain. They include: Alpha Rhythms - Most consistent and predominant during relaxed wakefulness, particularly when your eyes are closed or you are in the dark. Alpha rhythms cycle eighteen times per second. Beta Rhythms - Usually associated with alert wakefulness. They are faster than Alpha waves, cycling about thirteen to thirty-five times per second. Delta Rhythms - Occur chiefly in deep sleep stages 3-4, also known as slow-sleep. Delta Rhythms cycle less than four times per second. Theta Rhythms - Associated with the light sleep stage 1 and 2. These cycle four to eight times per second.From:SleepResourceCenterViews:1 0ratingsTime:00:55More inEducation
