All sleep stages in the circadian sleep/wake cycle other than REM sleep. These stages are characterized by a slowing of brain waves and other physiological functions. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the duration or quality of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. The cycle from wakefulness through an orderly succession of sleep states and stages that occurs on an approximately 24 hour rhythm. A behavioral process involved in the cycle from wakefulness through an orderly succession of sleep states and stages that occurs on an approximately 24 hour rhythm. Any process by which an organism enters and maintains a periodic, readily reversible state of reduced awareness and metabolic activity. Usually accompanied by physical relaxation, the onset of sleep in humans and other mammals is marked by a change in the electrical activity of the brain. The specific actions or reactions of an organism that recur with a regularity of approximately 24 hours. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of non-rapid eye movement sleep. The part of the circadian sleep/wake cycle where the organism is asleep. Any process that activates or increases the duration or quality of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep.
