External sounds can interrupt brain activity during sleep, especially during light and REM phases. While deep sleep helps the brain detach from external awareness, the earlier stages of sleep remain responsive to surrounding noise. This means that low-volume sounds such as distant vehicles, footsteps, or hallway conversations can affect brainwave patterns even when the sleeper remains unconscious. The result is a night of rest that feels light or broken, even if the person believes they slept through.
