Abstract
Sleep of 8 narcoleptic and 8 control subjects was recorded under baseline (i.e., prior wakefulness 16 h) and after 24 h without sleep. During both baseline and recovery total sleep time and stage 2 non-REM sleep were significantly decreased in narcoleptic subjects. Slow wave activity (i.e., EEG power density in the range of 0.75-4.5 Hz) decayed exponentially during baseline and after sleep deprivation in both narcoleptic and control subjects. During both baseline and recovery EEG power density in delta and sigma frequencies in non-REM sleep was enhanced in narcoleptic subjects relative to controls. In REM sleep differences in the same direction were present in delta and beta frequencies. After sleep deprivation EEG power density in non-REM sleep was elevated in delta and some higher frequencies in both patients and controls, but the response to sleep deprivation was stronger in narcoleptic subjects. These data show that in narcoleptic subjects regulatory processes underlying non-REM sleep homeostasis are operative and indicate that the response to sleep deprivation is stronger than in control subjects.
