Question

Odin is asleep when his neighbor starts banging on his window. Odin barely moves, and when he does finally wake up, he is confused and disoriented. Before he was awakened, Odin was most likely in ________ sleep.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is slow-wave sleep.

Explanation:

Slow-wave sleep (SWS) is the third phase of the rapid eye movement (REM) stage. The name refers to its slow frequency of brain activity in comparison to the next phase.

SWS is believed to be an important factor for memory consolidation, this is, the process in which stored information is transferred to the long-term memory.
