TL;DR
The main finding was that all Ss showed dramatic and stable deficits in delta sleep stages 3 and 4, and the role of factors other than chronic schizophrenia producing this finding is discussed.
Abstract
Evidence for the importance of delta sleep is reviewed, and the hypothesis tested that marked deficits in these sleep stages are characteristic of chronic schizophrenics. The sleep patterns of 9 chronic schizophrenics were monitored for 8 consecutive nights by means of continuous all-night EEG, eye and chin-muscle recordings. The main finding was that all Ss showed dramatic and stable deficits in delta sleep stages 3 and 4. The role of factors other than chronic schizophrenia producing this finding is discussed.

Electroencephalography and Clinical NeurophysiologyCyclic variations in EEG during sleep and their relation to eye movements, body motility, and dreaming
1,863 Citations1957William C. Dement, Nathaniel Kleitman
Records from a large number of nights in single individuals indicated that some could maintain a very striking regularity in their sleep pattern from night to night, and that body movement, after rising to a peak, dropped sharply at the onset of rapid eye movements and rebounded abruptly as the eye movements ceased.

It appears that the EEG of sleep may prove to be a diagnostic and research tool of special value to geriatric psychiatry because the quantitative changes in sleep with normal and pathological aging are similar to changes which take place in rate of overall brain metabolism.
Electroencephalography and Clinical NeurophysiologySleep patterns in young adults: an EEG study
247 Citations1964Robert L. Williams, H. W. Agnew +1 more
EEG sleep stages do not appear in any consistent temporal sequence from night to night in a given subject nor in a group of subjects, and the stage change was usually smooth, moving from one stage to the next when sleep was deepening, but less smooth, often “jumping”.

183 Citations1962Ralph J. Berger, Ian Oswald
The EEG and eye-movements during nocturnal sleep were recorded from six males on four base-line nights and four recovery nights following 108 hours of sleep deprivation andHallucinations, paranoid delusions and other abnormal behaviour during sleep deprivation are described.
Perceptual and Motor SkillsExercise and Sleep Patterns in College Athletes
166 Citations1966Frederick Baekeland, Richard Lasky
Visual stage-of-sleep analysis of the sleep EEGs of 10 college athletes under three different conditions of exercise suggests a general positive relationship between exercise and the amount of slow-wave (delta) sleep in a night's sleep.
Perceptual and Motor SkillsAmount of Dreaming: Effect of Incentive, Adaptation to Laboratory, and Individual Differences
141 Citations1964Allan Rechtschaffen, Paul Verdone
The relationships between several variables and amount of dreaming, defined as time spent in the rapid eye movement stage of sleep, were investigated and it was found that the longer the sleep period prior to the first dreaming of the night, the longer was the first dream.
Archives of General PsychiatrySleep Variables as a Function of Age in Man
138 Citations1968Feinberg
The hypothesis that changes in sleep pattern reflect changes in the physiological processes underlying brain function in general is supported, and the relationships to age of the main sleep variables are sought and the forms of these relationships with those of other variables potentially related to brain function are compared.
Electroencephalography and Clinical NeurophysiologyElectroencephalographic and eye movement patterns during sleep in chronic schizophrenic patients
120 Citations1967Donald F. Caldwell, Edward F. Domino
Schizophrenic patients were found to have a more disturbed sleep compared to controls, although no distinction was apparent between patients with or without stage IV present, and differences in time of onset, duration, and number of sleep stage changes were noted between schizophrenic and control subjects.
Archives of General PsychiatryStage 4 Sleep in Schizophrenia
112 Citations1969Irwin Feinberg
Both stage 3 and 4 EEG are maximal during the first few hours of sleep and their distributions across the night may usefully be described as a function of the successive sleep cycles.
Archives of General PsychiatryThe Sleep of Depressed Patients
112 Citations1965Samuel C. Gresham
The sleep of six manic-depressive psychotics, depressive type, is studied by recording their all-night electroencephalogram (EEG) by finding that, after excluding the waking record time, the patients had twice as much low voltage recording of light sleep as controls, half as much spindles plus random, and more sleep depth changes.

99 Citations1968J. Allan Hobson
After moderate treadmill exercise, marked decreases in operant responding and in latency to onset of behavioral sleep occurs in cats, consistent with the theory that a function of synchronized sleep is to facilitate recovery from fatigue.

Investigation of the sleep EEG pattern in conditions of altered brain function may prove of diagnostic value and may lead to new insights into such fundamental questions as the neurobiology of intelligence, the effects of aging on the central nervous system, and the nature and function of sleep itself.
Archives of General PsychiatrySleep and Depression
66 Citations1967Joseph Mendels
There are few systematic studies of the actual nature of sleep disturbance in depression, and it is found that patients with severe depression have characteristically little difficulty in falling asleep, but wake much earlier than when they are well.

66 Citations1968Gerald W. Vogel
The present study explored the hypothesis that REM deprivation will relieve the symptoms of depression and found that a prolonged decrease of REM time in man is suggested to be a causal factor in psychosis.

The inhibitory effect of imipramine and desmethylimipramines upon the REM period is considered to be an important mechanism by which these drugs produce favorable effects upon some of the narcoleptic symptoms other than sleep attacks.

It was found that the administration of daytime chlorpromazine (100 mg) had no direct effect on sleep as compared to placebo, and bedtime chlor Promazine was associated with significant changes in various sleep parameters.

It was concluded that increased reliability and comparability of results could be obtained readily by increased standardization of recording techniques and scoring criteria.

The unexpected finding that such abundant dreaming occurs at regular intervals every night strengthened the hypothesis that dreaming might be essential.

33 Citations1966Boyd K. Lester, R Guerrero-Figueroa
Testing the hypothesis that latency of REM onset is a negative function of drug-induced precentral fast (18 to 26 cps) activity in the EEG found chlorpromazine increased this activity during sleep and wakefulness and decreased latency ofREM sleep, whereas α-chloralose, pentothal, and phenobarbital were associated with a decrease of this activity.

The extension of this technique to the study of psychosis was rapidly accomplished with results which appear to be promising, and the early emphasis upon rapid eye movement, sleep, and its correlation with dreaming received the initial scrutiny.
