Different distribution of CAP A1 and A2-3 phases across night sleep. The distribution of A1 phases follows the classical pattern of slow wave decline from evening to morning predicted by the behaviour of the S-process of Borbély. The distribution of A2-3 phases has a different course; their amount do not decrease from evening to morning and show recurrent peaks before and during REM sleep (modified after Terzano et al., 2005 [11]).
