Describe each of the five unique stages of the sleep cycle.

There are five stages of sleep. Stages 1-4 are non-REM (rapid eye movement) sleep the last stage is REM sleep.

Stage 1 is when light sleep takes place, you drift in and out of sleep and noises and lights can wake you up very easily. In this stage, the eyes move slowly and muscle activity starts to slow down. In a light sleep many people experience sudden muscle twitches and can get a sensation of falling.

Stage 2, eyes stop moving and brain waves slow down, there can occasionally be a burst of rapid brain waves though. The body begins to prepare for deep proper sleep. Our body temperature begins to drop and our heart rate begins to slow down.

Stage 3, extremely slow brain waves are interspersed with smaller, faster waves. This is now deep sleep. In stage 3 people can experience sleepwalking, night terrors, talking during one’s sleep, and bedwetting. These behaviors tend to occur during the transitions between non-REM and REM sleep.

Stage 4, deep sleep continues. If you are woken up during this stage you can feel disoriented and confused for a short time.

Stage 5 REM sleep. During REM sleep our brain waves copy activity during the waking state. The eyes remain closed but move rapidly from side-to-side, this is possibly due to an intense dream and brain activity that occurs during this stage.

the anti federalists was a movement that was opposed to the creation of a us federal government. although they were not as organized as the federalists, they also had a large group of leaders, especially in state politics.

the statement "now, in a large extended country, it is impossible to have a representation, possessing the sentiments, and of integrity, to declare the minds of the people” represents the concerns of the anti federalists.

they strongly believed that the federalists were representing the interests of aristocratic elements of society at the expense of the majority of ordinary people, who lived in a rural society.

their fear for the creation of a strong federal government and the president’s power of veto in their opinion would create a tyrannical rule that would dominate the people. they defended the importance of restraining the government’s power towards people at any cost.
