Deep sleep is defined as a sleep you don't dream of . People often consider it as a sleep phase with a homogeneous state. In the paper, the scientists propose to have three types of deep sleep that humans can experience.

The first is the state related to the experiences of thinking and images when sleeping, but we don't have the feeling of being immersed in it like in a dream. The second state involves having some bodily awareness and feeling, including the feeling from the external environment such as the sound of a siren.

The third is the "selfless" sleeping state, the sleeping person still has some degree of rational awareness. This state may be similar to the experience of those who are meditating. Many studies show that some experienced meditators have different brain waves than normal people, such as higher levels of gamma brain waves, brain waves associated with many different functions. of the brain as attention and memory.

Research results enhance our understanding of sleep state, memory formation during sleep, and support treatment of certain sleep disorders, such as sleepwalking.
