"Partial" arousal is an abrupt change from a "deep" stage of NREM sleep (stage 3-4) to a "lighter" one (stage 2 or 1). "Full" arousal means awakening. During an arousal, your muscle tone increases, your heart may beat faster and you may move.

is the general state of readiness to respond to the environment. Arousal is necessary for selective attention and purposeful responses. Arousal is a function of the reticular activating system (RAS), a network of neurons and nerve pathways that extends from the lower brainstem into the pons, midbrain, thalamus, and cerebral cortex. Any disruption of the RAS can reduce the level of consciousness and lead to coma.
