Passage: When it comes to sleep quality, overall duration is important, as is the cycle of
sleep states. Sleep consists of five different states, the first four of which are
non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep, with the fifth being Rapid Eye
Movement (REM) sleep. When individuals fall asleep, they move through the
four stages of NREM sleep, with the stages getting deeper progressively,
resulting in the sleeper becoming less likely to awaken due to external stimuli,
before moving to REM sleep, when most dreaming occurs. The cycle of these
five stages is essential for sleep quality.

Read the excerpt from "home front diary." jimmy simmons stopped by today to tell me that he had enlisted in the army. he asked me if i would write to him, and i said i would. i told him that i've been writing to my uncle arthur and susan's cousin john for about a year, and as an experienced correspondent i had some advice about all the censorship. "don't write down any information about your location or the number of soldiers in your unit because the censors will cut all of that away," i said. "in my experience, loose lips not only sink ships, they make letters look like snowflake decorations! ” well, he belly laughed over that one. how is the author's perspective different from jimmy's? the author has been to war and she can give jimmy advice. jimmy has become a soldier and does not believe the author’s advice. the author has experience writing to soldiers but jimmy does not. jimmy has more experience at letter writing than the author.
