TL;DR
One night's sleep loss in young adults increased delta EEG only in the first non-REM period of recovery sleep, and a new hypothesis to account for the presence of eye movement during REM sleep is proposed.
Abstract
One night's sleep loss in young adults increased delta (0.3-3 Hz) EEG only in the first non-REM period of recovery sleep. The delta increase was limited to frequencies 0.3-4 Hz; within this range, the effects on wave form periods and amplitudes differed by frequency band. These results illustrate the value of computer analysis applied to the physiological units of sleep (the successive non-REM and REM periods of each sleep cycle). The finding that all of the delta increase occurred in the first sleep cycle appears inconsistent with the exponential decline of delta across cycles predicted by 'recovery' models of sleep. The fact that wave periods and amplitudes are differentially affected by sleep loss indicates that it is premature to adopt any single wave form characteristic (e.g., power spectral density) to index delta sleep. Our data also confirm a recent report that eye movement density decreases after sleep loss; we hypothesize that this change results from greater depth of sleep; an inverse relation of depth of sleep to eye movement density provides a coherent explanation for a range of otherwise disparate observations. Lastly, we propose a new hypothesis to account for the presence of eye movement during REM sleep.

The model shows that the experimental data are consistent with the concept of a single circadian pacemaker in humans, which has implications for the understanding of sleep as a restorative process and its timing with respect to day and night.

The present findings support the hypothesis that the EEG power density in the low frequency range is an indicator of a progressively declining process during sleep whose initial value is determined by the duration of prior waking.

557 Citations1974Irwin Feinberg
An analysis of data by sleep cycle was carried out for the main variables concerning sleep with EEG slow waves, sleep with rapid eye movements, and awakenings, and it was suggested that the trends in sleep pattern across the night have significant implications for the brain processes which underlie the electrophysiological manifestations of sleep.

The durations of successive sleep cycles, defined according to NREM (stage 2) or REM onsets, were objected to trend analysis in three groups of normal subjects and in a group of elderly patients with chronic brain syndrome (CBS).

It is concluded that inhibitory systems were damaged by these lesions and that PS without atonia is not simply a state during which neural activity of normal PS can be expressed behaviorally.

A modification of the method of constant stimuli was used in an apparently successful attempt to minimize the incorporation of the experimental stimuli into the mental activity of the sleeper, and the possible physiological determinants of the awakening response were discussed.

In five unmedicated, recently rehospitalized schizophrenic patients the authors found reduced delta amplitude and abundance (and increased spindle density) in NREMP1 (also called "REM latency") as compared with ambulatory normal controls, which may underlie the abnormal rapid eye movement distributions sometimes found in schizophrenic and depressed patients.

It was suggested that EEG power density reflects the homeostatic process in sleep regulation and that this process is a major determinant of sleep duration and content.

It is found that a huge increase in REM sleep above habitual levels when sleep is extended has virtually no effect on the onset, amount or distribution of REM on the following night.

The hypothesis that stage 4 has priority over REM in terms of recovery from sleep loss is supported, and it is suggested that stages 2, 3, and 4 partially overlap in their recuperative functions.

44 Citations1982Francisco R. Morales, Michael H. Chase
Discrete hyperpolarizing postsynaptic potentials were found to occur repetitively throughout active sleep in conjunction with the presence of somatomotor atonia, and it is proposed that these are inhibitory potentials which are responsible for or contribute significantly to the post Synaptic inhibition of spinal cord motoneurons during active sleep.

It is shown that while the power spectrum efficiently quantifies the overall power trends in the EEG data, period-amplitude analysis seems to offer more resolution than the power Spectrum in detecting electrographic details in amplitude and incidence within relatively narrow frequency bands.

Systematic measurement of the amount and distribution of these waveforms as a function of preceding waking duration should provide clues to the kinetics of the metabolic processes underlying sleep.
