The Cyclical Nature of Things

When I think about cycles I think about the sleep cycle because I love to sleep.  The cycle starts with non REM sleep; stage 1 is 5-10 minutes where you can be easily awoken; stage 2 the heart rate slows and body temperature decreases; and stage 3 where the body prepares for deep sleep. Then the body enters REM sleep, happening 90 minutes after you've fallen asleep; heart rate and breathing quickens, intense dreams, and the brain is more active. I want to illustrate the idea of the sleep cycle through eye movement and create a dream-like environment with the pictures I've taken.
