Why does my baby sleep so deeply?

⚡ Short answer: The main reason babies sleep so deeply is that they spend much of their sleep in REM (light sleep) rather than deep sleep like adults, and their nervous systems aren't yet mature enough to make sleep-to-wake transitions quickly.

Let me ask briefly: why does my baby sleep so deeply?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Newborns and young babies' sleep is very different from ours. They spend much of their sleep in REM (the stage where dreams occur) and waking them during this stage is more difficult. Additionally, because their nervous system isn't yet mature, the transition between sleep and wakefulness is slow and deep. If I knew exactly how old your baby is, I could give you a more specific answer.
