Patients/methods: Data regarding apnea-hypopnea index, total sleep time, sleep effi ciency, rapid-eye-movement (REM) density, REM latency, total REM episodes during polysomnography and continuous positive airway pressure titration according to the obstructive sleep apnea severity were compared. Results: Of the 51 patients whose charts were reviewed, the average age was 46.47±10.62 years and the mean body mass index was 31.71±4.97 kg/m2. Thirty-two patients who had an apnea-hypopnea index between 30 and 60/h included to the Group 1 and 19 patients who had an apnea-hypopnea index ≥60/h included to the Group 2. Among all studied parameters, only rapid-eye-movement latency showed statistical signifi cance between the studied groups. Changes in rapid-eye-movement latency differed signifi cantly among patients during polysomnography and continuous positive airway pressure titration in Group 2 (p=0.003).

    Carskadon, M.A., & Dement, W.C. (2011). Monitoring and staging human sleep. In M.H. Kryger, T. Roth, & W.C. Dement (Eds.), Principles and practice of sleep medicine, 5th edition, (pp 16-26). St. Louis: Elsevier Saunders. Chapter 2 – Normal Human Sleep : An Overview Mary A. Carskadon, William C. Dement Abstract Normal human sleep comprises two states—rapid eye movement (REM) and non–REM (NREM) sleep— that alternate cyclically across a sleep episode. State characteristics are well defined: NREM sleep includes a variably synchronous cortical electroencephalogram (EEG; including sleep spindles, K- complexes, and slow waves) associated with low muscle tonus and minimal psychological activity; the REM sleep EEG is desynchronized, muscles are atonic, and dreaming is typical. A nightly pattern of sleep in mature humans sleeping on a regular schedule includes several reliable characteristics: Sleep begins in NREM and progresses through deeper NREM stages (stages 2, 3, and 4 using the classic definitions, or stages N2 and N3 using the updated definitions) before the first episode of REM sleep occurs approximately 80 to 100 minutes later. Thereafter, NREM sleep and REM sleep cycle with a period of approximately 90 minutes. NREM stages 3 and 4 (or stage N3) concentrate in the early NREM cycles, and REM sleep episodes lengthen across the night. Age-related changes are also predictable: Newborn humans enter REM sleep (called active sleep) before NREM (called quiet sleep) and have a shorter sleep cycle (approximately 50 minutes); coherent sleep stages emerge as the brain matures during the first year. At birth, active sleep is approximately 50% of total sleep and declines over the first 2 years to approximately 20% to 25%.

  • Alcohol's Effects on Sleep in Alcoholics
    Alcohol’s Effects on Sleep in Alcoholics Kirk J. Brower, M.D. Sleep problems, which can have significant clinical and economic consequences, are more common among alcoholics than among nonalcoholics. During both drinking periods and withdrawal, alcoholics commonly experience problems falling asleep and decreased total sleep time. Other measures of sleep are also disturbed. Even alcoholics who have been abstinent for short periods of time (i.e., several weeks) or extended periods of time (i.e., several years) may experience persistent sleep abnormalities. Researchers also found that alcoholics are more likely to suffer from certain sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea. Conversely, sleep problems may predispose some people to developing alcohol problems. Furthermore, sleep problems may increase the risk of relapse among abstinent alcoholics. KEY WORDS: sleep disorder; AOD (alcohol or other drug) dependence; physiological AODE (effects of AOD use, abuse, and dependence); REM (rapid eye movement) sleep; AOD withdrawal syndrome; AOD abstinence; self medication; AODD (AOD use disorder) relapse; melatonin; treatment and maintenance; literature review leep problems1 are more common All of these terms refer both to subjec­ alcoholics than in nonalcoholics—has among alcoholics than among non- tive complaints about sleep, such as been associated with increased mortality Salcoholics (Aldrich 1998; Ehlers insomnia, and to objectively measured from heart disease and stroke (Aldrich 2000; National Institute on Alcohol Abuse abnormalities in sleep, which

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. A 20% increase in REM sleep duration has been proposed as a threshold to identify REM rebound in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who start continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. We describe the case of one patient with OSA who showed an unexpectedly high degree of REM rebound during titration of CPAP. A 34-year-old man was diagnosed with OSA. He remained untreated for many years, during which he developed systemic hypertension, depression, and severe daytime somnolence. When he was reevaluated sixteen years later, his Epworth sleepiness score was 18, and his OSA had greatly worsened (apnea/hypopnea index: 47, lowest nocturnal saturation: 57%). He underwent a successful CPAP titration during nocturnal polysomnography. Electroencephalographic analysis of the sleep recording revealed a huge amount of REM sleep, accounting for 72% of the total sleep time.

  • Physiology of Normal Sleep: from Young to Old
    Ann Natl Acad Med Sci (India), 49(3&4): 81-91, 2013 Physiology of Normal Sleep: From Young to Old V. Mohan Kumar Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala State ABSTRACT Human sleep, defined on the basis of electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG) and electrooculogram (EOG), is divided into rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and four stages of non–rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Collective monitoring and recording of physiological data during sleep is called polysomnography. Sleep which normally starts with a period of NREM alternates with REM, about 4-5 times, every night. Sleep pattern changes with increasing age. Newborns sleep for about 14-16 hours in a day of 24 hours. Although there is a wide variation among individuals, sleep of 7-8.5 hours is considered fully restorative in adults. Apart from restorative and recovery function, energy conservation could be one of the functions of sleep. The role of sleep in neurogenesis, memory consolidation and brain growth has been suggested. Though progress in medical science has vastly improved our understanding of sleep physiology, we still do not know all the functions of sleep.

  • Rapid Eye Movement Sleep and Slow Wave Sleep Rebounded and Related
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Rapid eye movement sleep and slow wave sleep rebounded and related factors during positive airway pressure therapy Jin‑Xiang Cheng*, Jiafeng Ren, Jian Qiu, Yingcong Jiang, Xianchao Zhao, Shuyu Sun & Changjun Su* This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and predictors of increased rapid eye movement (REM) sleep or slow wave sleep (SWS) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) following positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. The study retrospectively analyzed data from patients with OSA who underwent both diagnostic polysomnography (PSG) and pressure titration PSG at the Tangdu Hospital Sleep Medicine Center from 2011–2016. Paired diagnostic PSG and pressure titration studies from 501 patients were included. REM rebound was predicted by a higher oxygen desaturation index, lower REM proportion, higher arousal index, lower mean pulse oxygen 2 saturation (SpO2), higher Epworth sleepiness score and younger age (adjusted R = 0.482). The SWS rebound was predicted by a longer total duration of apneas and hypopneas, lower N3 duration, lower 2 SpO2 nadir, lower REM proportion in diagnostic PSG and younger age (adjusted R = 0.286). Patients without REM rebound or SWS rebound had a high probability of comorbidities with insomnia and mood complaints. Some parameters (subjective and objective insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, age and OSA severity) indicate changes in REM sleep and SWS between diagnostic and titration PSG tests. Treatment of insomnia and mood disorders in patients with OSA may helpful to improve the use PAP. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by sleep fragmentation due to recurring episodes of upper airway obstruction with frequent oxygen desaturation.

  • REM) Rebound on Initial Exposure to CPAP Therapy: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Gaurav Nigam1*, Macario Camacho2 and Muhammad Riaz3
    Nigam et al. Sleep Science and Practice (2017) 1:13 Sleep Science and Practice DOI 10.1186/s41606-017-0014-7 REVIEW Open Access Rapid Eye Movement (REM) rebound on initial exposure to CPAP therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis Gaurav Nigam1*, Macario Camacho2 and Muhammad Riaz3 Abstract Objective: Rapid Eye Movement (REM) rebound is a polysomnographic phenomenon where a substantial increase in REM sleep is noted in patients with untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) when first undergoing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration. The objectives of this study are to determine: 1) the percentage of patients experiencing REM rebound during CPAP titrations, 2) to quantify the relative increase in REM sleep duration and 3) to identify if there are patient variables associated with REM rebound. Methods: Four databases (including PubMed/Medline) were systematically searched through March 12, 2017. Results: Four hundred sixty-seven articles were screened, 58 were reviewed in full-text form and 14 studies met the criteria for inclusion in this review. Eleven of the fourteen studies noted a statistically significant increase in amount of REM sleep during the titration night, compared to baseline sleep study. Pre- and post-CPAP REM sleep duration percentage means ± standard deviations (M ± SD) in 1119 patients increased from 13.8 ± 8.2% to 20.0 ± 10.1%; random effects modeling demonstrated a mean difference of 7.86 (%) [95% CI 5.01, 10.70], p-value <0.00001, corresponding to a 57% relative increase in REM sleep duration. The standardized mean difference (SMD) is 0.90 [95% CI 0.59, 1.22], representing a large magnitude of effect.
