Can eegs show the different sleep stages?

Yes.: Yes, the stages of sleep are identified through eeg. Stages w (wakefulness), n1, n2, n3, and r (rem). You sleep study will be able to measure the time and % you spend in each of these states. Sleep patterns and architecture change for individuals throughout life. They are dynamic and distinct.
