Question

Sleep spindles are associated with which state of sleep ?

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2024 Paper 2 Computer Science and Applications Question Paper (07-Apr-2024)
The correct answer is

Stage II

Non-REM sleep is traditionally divided into stages I to IV, each with characteristic EEG patterns. Stage II is marked by two distinctive waveforms: sleep spindles, which are brief bursts of 12 to 14 Hz activity, and K-complexes, which are sharp high-amplitude waves.

Sleep spindles are generated by thalamocortical circuits and are thought to help block external stimulation and support memory consolidation. Their appearance is the standard EEG sign that a sleeper has entered Stage II.

Stage I is a light transitional stage dominated by low-amplitude theta activity and vertex waves, without spindles. Stages III and IV are slow-wave sleep, defined by the presence of high-amplitude delta waves rather than spindles.

Stage II option is correct.
