Article Draft
Sray13 Review: The electrical activity we see on an EEG are called brain waves. The four waves: alpha, beta, theta, and delta are all seen in the different stages of sleep. Alpha waves are seen when a person is in a resting state, but is still awake. Their eyes may be closed and all of their body is taking a break (I would suggest re-wording this). Beta waves take over alpha waves when a person is at attention, completing a task, or concentrating on something. Theta waves occur during the period of a person being awake to them transaction into Stage 1 of sleep (grammatic corrections). Delta waves are seen in stage 3 and 4 of sleep, when a person is in there deepest of sleep.

Chodges8 review: So far I am not really sure if what you uploaded was just what you added or there are tiny changes you forgot to indicate. Either way there are a few grammatical errors you can fix such as this sentence: "Delta waves are seen in stage 3 and 4 of sleep, when a person is in there deepest of sleep." This is grammatically incorrect and it should be "their" instead of "there." There is always room for growth since we are just starting reviewing and contributing to these articles. Overall this is a great topic and I hope to see whatever interesting information you add to this particular article!

Review response: I have changed the grammatical error that was brought to my attention in the review. I changed "there" to "their" to meet the grammatical requirements for this sentence. I also made the grammatical correct in the sentence above in the review. I made so changes to the sentence suggested to reword. I think these changes have improved my draft.

Article body
Article portion: During slow-wave sleep, humans secrete bursts of growth hormone. All sleep, even during the day, is associated with secretion of prolactin.

Key physiological methods for monitoring and measuring changes during sleep include electroencephalography (EEG) of brain waves, electrooculography (EOG) of eye movements, and electromyography (EMG) of skeletal muscle activity. Simultaneous collection of these measurements is called polysomnography, and can be performed in a specialized sleep laboratory. Sleep researchers also use simplified electrocardiography (EKG) for cardiac activity and actigraphy for motor movements.

My contribution:

The electrical activity we see on an EEG are called brain waves. It has been revealed that the intensity of EEG waves on a frequency are related to one's sleep-wake cycle. Meaning that the body is linked to certain waves at certain points during a person's day such as; being asleep, falling asleep, being awake. (Borbély et al., 2016). The model EEG waveforms seen are; Alpha waves, beta waves, theta waves, gamma waves, and delta waves are all seen in the different stages of sleep. Each different wave maintains a different frequency and amplitude. Alpha in beta waves are the only waves seen when a person is in an awake state. Alpha waves are seen when a person is in a resting state, but are still fully conscious. Their eyes may be closed and all of their body is taking a break, where the body is starting to slow down. Beta waves take over alpha waves when a person is at attention, as they might be completing a task or concentrating on something. These waves consist of the highest of frequencies and the lowest of frequencies, at this point a person is fully alert. Theta waves occur during the period of a person being awake, and continue they transition into Stage 1 of sleep. Delta waves are seen in stage 3 and 4 of sleep, when a person is in their deepest of sleep. (~)
