Delta waves are most prominent during REM sleep.
C

D

Verified step by step guidance1
Review the characteristics of each sleep stage, focusing on brain wave patterns and physiological features.
Recall that sleep spindles are bursts of brain activity typically seen during Stage 2 sleep, not Stage 4.
Understand that delta waves, which are slow and high-amplitude brain waves, are most prominent during deep sleep stages (Stage 3 and 4), not during REM sleep.
Recognize that REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is characterized by rapid eye movements, muscle atonia, and vivid dreaming, making this statement true.
Know that Stage 1 sleep is the lightest stage of sleep, not the deepest; the deepest sleep occurs in Stage 3 and 4 (slow-wave sleep).
