| The first REM stage of the night usually occur around 90 minutes after falling asleep, and the duration of the REM stage increases with each cycle, lasting about 60 minutes in the last cycle before waking. However, the total amount of REM sleep decreases as the night goes on, accounting for around 25% of total sleep time in the first half of the night, and only around 10% in the second half of the night. | The first REM stage of the night usually occur around 90 minutes after falling asleep, and the duration of the REM stage increases with each cycle, lasting about 60 minutes in the last cycle before waking.

| The rapid eye movements during REM sleep are caused by the firing of specific neurons in the brainstem, which control the muscles of the eyes. The brainstem also suppresses the activity of the extraocular muscles that control the movements of the eyes during waking hours, in this way | The rapid eye movements during REM sleep are caused by the firing of specific neurons in the brainstem, which control the muscles of the eyes.
