brainwave states range from beta to delta:http://brain.web-us.com/brainwavesfunction.htm
beta states are the most aroused, and characteristic of waking (in its most engaged states- this article uses the example of someone in active debate). delta waves are characteristic of dreamless sleep (proper to NREM). If beta waves are generated during NREM then rather than being restorative this is going to be sleep that operates at the same energy level as waking. Normalization of this state would result in increased delta ratio for NREM.z
