Abstract
-
Narcolepsy is a disorder of both REM and NREM sleep characterized by daytime sleepiness and dissociated REM phenomena. Normals display the ability to store REM sleep when it is deprived, and to recover REM sleep subsequently during appropriate sleep periods. The REM storage and inhibitory systems in narcoleptics were challenged by one nights REM deprivation in this study. 13 narcoleptics and 11 normals participated in consecutive baseline and REM deprivation night sleep recordings. Subjects also participated in two all day sleep latency nap procedures, during which sleepiness and sleep onset REM periods were assessed. Findings demonstrated that narcoleptics required significantly more frequent awakenings from REM sleep in order to deprive them of REM (narcoleptic mean = 27.7 REM awakenings, normal = 14). Individual normal sleep tendency as measured by sleep latency on naps was correlated with the number of REM deprivation awakenings at r = .8. Findings suggest a relationship between sleepiness and REM sleep phenomena.
