Figure 9.18: Time spent by people of different ages in waking, REM sleep, and NREM sleep . REM sleep occupies about 8 hours a day in newborns but less than 2 hours in most adults. The sleep of infants is not quite like that of adults, however, and the criteria for identifying REM sleep are not the same. (Source: From “Ontogenetic development of human sleep-dream cycle,” by H.
