c. Anya will spend a greater proportion of her sleep time than usual in the NREM stages. This phenomenon is called restoration.
d. Anya will spend a greater proportion of her sleep time than usual in the NREM stages. This phenomenon is called rebound.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. Anya will spend a greater proportion of her sleep time than usual in the REM stage. This phenomenon is called rebound.

Explanation:

The acronym REM is equivalent to Rapid Eye Movement, which is what happens during REM sleep. The eyes go quickly in several directions.

In a REM rebound stage that characteristic occurs after facing periods of sleep deprivation, as is the case of Anya. Here you face an increasingly longer frequency and depth of sleep.

If a person is deprived of sleep for a certain period of time, the pressure to get sleep will be higher, and when that person finally manages to sleep, the percentage of sleep will increase.
