The five stages of sleep are these: Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and 4 are combined into one stage and are called slow wave sleep, and REM sleep.
The truth is, no one quite knows the exact function of sleep. There are many theories, but sleep remains a mystery to us. One theory says that it may be to conserve energy. The truth is, that not all of our body rests while we are sleeping. During parts of the night, blood flow to the brain increases and certain parts of the brain actually become more active, such as the pons in the brainstem. All we know for sure is that without sleep, we are not able to function properly.

What is an abnormal sleep study?
It is a sleep study which shows patterns other than those associated with normal sleep stages architecture. The lighter sleep stage is stage 2, and the deeper stages are 3 and 4, followed by a brief period of REM sleep, before the sleep cycle repeats itself. A healthy night's sleep typically includes five 90 minute sleep cycles. A common abnormal sleep study is one which is associated with multiple apneic episodes, pointing to sleep apnea as a problem (which limits the body's ability to attain the deeper stages of sleep, hence the fatigue and sleepiness the next day despite the subjective perception that one has slept for eight hours or more).
