Approximately an hour after falling asleep, Daisy’s roommate repeatedly shakes her shoulder and asks Daisy to move her car out of the driveway. Daisy takes several minutes to respond to her roommate and then opens the refrigerator to find her keys. What type of brain waveforms did Daisy display right before being awakened?

Answer:

Delta waves

Step-by-step explanation:

All known data so far suggests that delta waves have little to do with consciousness. That is, they are never present during conscious states, on the contrary. At first they are present in the deepest states of sleep, that is, in the stages in which we dream nothing but states asleep.

In the case shown in the question above, we can see that Daisy's roommate repeatedly shakes her so she wakes up. This shows that Daisy was not waking up easily, which indicates she was in deep sleep. From this we can conclude that the brain waves that Daisy displayed before being awakened were the delta waves.
