In deep sleep, the EEG pattern is characterized as "slow wave," which means that the brain waves are slower and larger than during wakefulness or REM sleep. This is known as slow-wave sleep (SWS) or delta sleep, and it is associated with decreased cerebral activity and reduced muscle tone. Rapid eye movements occur during REM sleep, which is a different stage of sleep.
