Abstract Introduction Over the past 18 years, our laboratory has been carrying out longitudinal studies of sleep and sleep need across adolescence. Our current study uses a dose-response design to examine daytime performance and sleep EEG after varied sleep durations. Here we present results for 1-30 Hz EEG power in NREM and REM sleep. Methods Home EEG recording in children 10-16 years old (N=77, mean age = 13.2). Adhering to their habitual rise time participants kept an assigned TIB schedule of 7, 8.5, or 10 hours for four consecutive nights. Participants completed all three conditions each year of the 3 year study. EEG recordings from the fourth night of each condition were scored and analyzed with FFT. Results Reducing TIB from 10 to 7 hours effectively decreased total sleep time (TST) from an average of 531 min to an average of 407 min. Decreasing TIB (from 10 to 7 h) produced a small increase (4.6%, p=0.0004) in delta (1-4 Hz) power and a larger decrease (9.0%, p=0.0032) in alpha (8-11 Hz) power in the first 5 h of NREM sleep. In REM periods 2 and 3, the same TIB reduction also increased (12.1%, p<0.0001) delta power and decreased (14.2%, p<0.0001) alpha power. Decreasing TIB reduced (11%, p<0.0001) sigma (11-15 Hz) power in the first 5h of NREM sleep and reduced (28%, p<0.0001) all night NREM sigma energy. Conclusion Reducing TST changes EEG power in several frequency bands. The increase in NREM delta power, expected from homeostatic models, may be too small to be biologically significant. The larger loss of sigma power may be of greater consequence. Sigma frequency activity is an indicator of sleep spindles which have been affected in aging, learning, memory and psychopathology. The sigma response to sleep restriction could be used to study these relations. Support PHS grant R01 HL116490 supported this work.

Abstract Introduction It is well known that sleep becomes lighter towards the end of the night reflecting the reduction in homeostatic sleep pressure. We hypothesized that more adequate nocturnal sleep (i.e. sufficient quantity and quality for the individual) would result in a greater reduction in sleep depth across the night and would be reflected in decreased next-day sleep tendency. Methods In a secondary analysis of data from a study in which sleep depth was altered by sleep restriction combined with either placebo or gaboxadol (a delta-promoting drug) we correlated change across the night in two measures of sleep depth with next-day Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) latencies. Forty-one healthy subjects underwent 8 consecutive sleep studies; two baseline, four sleep restriction (5 hours) and two recovery nights. MSLT was performed following each baseline night and the last two restriction nights. Sleep depth in the first and last hours of NREM sleep was determined by two methods 1) Log delta spectral power; 2) The odds-ratio-product (ORP), a recently introduced continuous measure of sleep depth. The difference between initial and final values was calculated (ΔDelta, ΔORP). Post-restriction MSLT latency was correlated with baseline MSLT latency, ΔDelta, ΔORP, log delta power and ORP in the last hour, lost total sleep time and lost REM time. Results ΔDelta was -0.27 ±0.13 and ΔORP was 0.17 ±0.13, both changes reflecting lightening of sleep across the night. In both univariate and multivariate analysis only baseline MSLT latency (p &lt 0.001) and ΔORP (p &lt 0.01) were significantly and positively correlated with post-restriction MSLT latency. Conclusion The reduction in sleep depth across the night as measured by ORP, but not by delta power, is significantly correlated with reduced objective sleepiness following sleep restriction. ΔORP may be a useful index that reflects sleep adequacy during the night. Support None

Objective: In elderly patients, women have better qualities of sleep than men in objective parameters; however, women subjectively complain more about sleep disturbances than men. We performed visual scoring and spectral analysis of sleep electroencephalograms to explain these gender differences in the degree of arousal, the most representative marker in insomnia. Methods: A total of 354 participants (≥60 years old) were recruited from a Korean community underwent nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG). A Fast Fourier transform was used for the spectral analysis of the NPSG data. Relative power was calculated as absolute power of each band divided by total absolute power. Difference in total sleep time (D_TST) is obtained by subtracting the total sleep time reported in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) from the TST measured by the NPSG. Results: A total of 75 participants (women, 51) were finally analyzed. Women had higher PSQI, longer sleep latencies, sleep inefficiencies, and daytime dysfunctions compared to men. The percentage of stage 1 sleep was higher in men versus in women, whereas percentage of stage 3 sleep was higher in women than in men ( P = .001; P = .001). Women had higher relative alpha and beta powers than men during nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep ( P = .017; P = .015). During NREM sleep, beta power was negatively correlated with D_TST ( R = −0.250, P = .033), and relative alpha power in stage 3 sleep was positively correlated with sleep latency in PSQI ( R = 0.267, P = .022). Conclusion: Spectral analysis showed that women had more disturbed sleep than men. The result from the spectral analysis may explain hyperarousal in elderly women.

AbstractCompensatory elevation in NREM sleep EEG delta power has been typically observed following prolonged wakefulness and widely used as a sleep homeostasis indicator. However, recent evidence in human and rodent chronic sleep restriction (CSR) studies suggests that NREM delta power is not progressively increased despite of accumulated sleep loss over days. In addition, there has been little progress in understanding how sleep EEG in different brain regions responds to CSR. Using novel high-density EEG electrode arrays in the mouse model of CSR where mice underwent 18-h sleep deprivation per day for 5 consecutive days, we performed an extensive analysis of topographical NREM sleep EEG responses to the CSR condition, including period-amplitude analysis of individual slow waves. As previously reported in our analysis of REM sleep responses, we found different patterns of changes: (i) progressive decrease in NREM sleep duration and consolidation, (ii) persistent enhancement in NREM delta power especially in the frontal and parietal regions, and (iii) progressive increases in individual slow wave slope and frontal fast oscillation power. These results suggest that multiple sleep-wake regulatory systems exist in a brain region-specific manner, which can be modulated independently, especially in the CSR condition.

Sleep disturbance is considered as an important symptom of acute and protracted opiate withdrawal. Current results suggest that sleep disturbance may be taken as a predictor of relapse. Appropriate sleep enhancement therapy will be in favor of the retention in treatment for opiate addicts. Our previous studies have shown that electroacupuncture (EA) is effective in suppressing morphine withdrawal syndrome. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of 2 and 100 Hz EA on the sleep disturbance during morphine withdrawal. Rats were made dependent on morphine by repeated morphine injections (escalating doses of 5–80 mg kg−1, subcutaneously, twice a day) for 5 days. EA of 2 or 100 Hz was given twice a day for 3 days, starting at 48 h after the last morphine injection. Electroencephalogram and electromyogram were monitored at the end of the first and the last EA treatments, respectively. Results showed that non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, REM sleep and total sleep time decreased dramatically, while the sleep latency prolonged significantly during acute morphine withdrawal. Both 2 and 100 Hz EA produced a significant increase in NREM sleep, REM sleep and total sleep time. It was suggested that EA could be a potential treatment for sleep disturbance during morphine withdrawal.

Sleep and epilepsy share some common mechanisms. The objective of the present investigation was to study the macrostructure of sleep in patients with idiopathic epilepsies, focal and generalized, comparing these two groups to each other and to a control group of 12 individuals without epilepsy. A total of 35 polysomnographies were performed, 12 of them in the control group, 10 in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsies, and 13 in patients with idiopathic focal epilepsies. Antiepileptic medications were maintained for ethical reasons. The group with idiopathic focal epilepsy showed an increase in the total recording time (p = 0.04) and the group with idiopathic generalized epilepsy had a reduction of phase 4 NREM sleep. The efficiency of total sleep period and of total sleep time was also lower in the group with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (p = 0.03 in both cases). We concluded that the group with idiopathic generalized epilepsy presents sleep of poorer quality, whereas the group with idiopathic focal epilepsy presents a tendency toward an excessive somnolence.

Abstract The mouse-deer or chevrotains are the smallest of the ungulates and ruminants. They are characterized by a number of traits which are considered plesiomorphic for the Artiodactyla order. The objective of this study was to examine sleep in the lesser mouse-deer (Tragulus kanchil), which is the smallest in this group (body mass <2.2 kg). Electroencephalogram, nuchal electromyogram, electrooculogram and body acceleration were recorded in 4 adult mouse-deer females using a telemetry system in Bu Gia Map National Park in Vietnam. The mouse-deer spent on average 49.7±3.0% of 24-h in NREM sleep. REM sleep occupied 1.7±0.3% of 24-h or 3.2±0.5% of total sleep time. The average duration of REM sleep episodes was 2.0±0.2 min, the average maximum was 5.1±1.1 min, and the longest episodes lasted 8 min. NREM sleep occurred in sternal recumbency with the head heals above the ground while 64.7+6.4% of REM sleep occurred with the head resting on the ground. The eyes were open throughout most of the NREM sleep period. The mouse-deer displayed polyphasic sleep and crepuscular peaks in activity (04:00-06:00 and 18:00-19:00). The largest amounts of NREM occurred in the morning (06:00-09:00) and the smallest before dusk (at 04:00-06:00). REM sleep occurred throughout most of the daylight hours (08:00-16:00) and in the first half of the night (19:00-02:00). We suggest that the pattern and timing of sleep in the lesser mouse-deer is adapted to the survival of a small herbivorous animal, subject to predation, living in high environmental temperatures in tropical forest undergrowth.

To study sleep responses to chronic sleep restriction (CSR) and time-of-day influences on these responses, we developed a rat model of CSR that takes into account the polyphasic sleep patterns in rats. Adult male rats underwent cycles of 3 h of sleep deprivation (SD) and 1 h of sleep opportunity (SO) continuously for 4 days, beginning at the onset of the 12-h light phase (“3/1” protocol). Electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) recordings were made before, during, and after CSR. During CSR, total sleep time was reduced by ∼60% from baseline levels. Both rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) and non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) during SO periods increased initially relative to baseline and remained elevated for the rest of the CSR period. In contrast, NREMS EEG delta power (a measure of sleep intensity) increased initially, but then declined gradually, in parallel with increases in high-frequency power in the NREMS EEG. The amplitude of daily rhythms in NREMS and REMS amounts was maintained during SO periods, whereas that of NREMS delta power was reduced. Compensatory responses during the 2-day post-CSR recovery period were either modest or negative and gated by time of day. NREMS, REMS, and EEG delta power lost during CSR were not recovered by the end of the second recovery day. Thus the “3/1” CSR protocol triggered both homeostatic responses (increased sleep amounts and intensity during SOs) and allostatic responses (gradual decline in sleep intensity during SOs and muted or negative post-CSR sleep recovery), and both responses were modulated by time of day.

Objectives: To investigate the psychological status of patients with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) and to evaluate the association of SAHS with psychological symptoms, using the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) scale. Methods: The study comprised 30 SAHS patients (25 men, 5 women) and 30 matched, healthy control subjects. They all completed the SCL-90 and the Epworth Sleep Scale (ESS) and underwent a whole-night polysomnographic (PSG) examination. We used t-tests for group comparisons of nocturnal PSG characteristics, daytime sleepiness, and psychological symptoms. We employed Spearman's rank correlation analysis to indicate the effects of several nocturnal PSG variables (for example, total sleep time, percentage of wake at sleep, Apnea and Hypopnea Index [AHI], and oxygen desaturation) or subjective daytime sleepiness on psychological symptoms in SAHS. Results: SAHS patients suffered from fragmented sleep and decreased arterial oxygen saturations, compared with healthy control subjects. The General Severity Index (GSI) of SCL-90 was significantly higher in SAHS patients than in healthy control subjects, as were measures of somatization, obsession–compulsion, depression, anxiety, and hostility (P < 0.05). The severity of psychological symptoms in SAHS patients was negatively related to total sleep time and percentage of stage 2 nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep; it was positively related to percentage of wake time after sleep onset, percentage of stage 1 NREM sleep, and ESS scores. Conclusion: In our study population, SAHS patients had decreased psychological well-being, which could be explained by fragmented sleep or excessive daytime sleepiness.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to compare REM-dependent and REM-independent, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) patients in relation to their daily sleepiness assessed by Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS). The study included 1863 consecutive patients, who were referred to a sleep centre with a presumed diagnosis of OSA. Following polysomnography, 292 patients fulfilled criteria for either REM-dependent OSA (REM-OSA, n = 102) or REM-independent OSA (nREM-OSA, n = 190). Both study groups were matched regarding sex and age. REM-OSA group had two times lower median apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI) compared to nREM-OSA (p < 0.001), yet day-time sleepiness measured by ESS was similar: median score 9.0 (6.0–11.0) and 8.0 (4.8–11.0), p = 0.109, respectively. Subsequent post-hoc ANCOVA analysis, with covariates (BMI, percent of total sleep time spent in REM stage, percent of total sleep time spent in the supine position), has shown statistically significant difference between study groups regarding AHI (p < 0.001) and no difference regarding ESS score (p = 0.063). Despite two times lower AHI, patients with REM-OSA present with similar day-time sleepiness as those with REM independent OSA. Daily sleepiness may be stronger associated with apneas/hypopneas occurring in REM than nREM sleep.
