Is every sleep cycle the same?
« on: August 31, 2005, 20:38:14 pm »
I was wondering if a baby's sleep cycle is the same every time?  Sometimes my 3 1/2 mos. ds goes through typical cycle of light sleep, rem, then after 20 minutes deep sleep.  Other times he seems to go into deep sleep right away and then lighter sleep as he gets closer to 20 minute mark.  Could overtiredness cause this?

I've been thinking about this, too.  I don't believe the sleep cycles are always the same.  This is the reason that they could fall asleep within minutes and not be disturbed for 30 minutes, then awaken at the drop of a hat while, other times, they seem to be in REM sleep from the get-go and then go into deep sleep (after what feels like an eternity).

they're not all the same, but i don't know more specifics than that.

matthew's mommy (mod on nap board) knows a lot about sleep cycles, you may want to pm her.
