He was in the NREM-stage 3 sleep.

In the stage two of the sleep cycle people sleeping will behaving less awareness about the things that happens around his environment. The body temperature will be low and there will be a regular heart rate. In the deep sleep which is at stage 3, the person will be having lower rate of BP and the muscles of the person gets relaxed.
