The good thing about sleep is the fact that it has stages which are distinctive, and responsible for cycling through the brain throughout the entire sleep. There are totally different activities which happen at these different stages. For example there are stages which are responsible for making us sleep while very tired and feel rested and also more energetic when we wake up the next morning.
