TL;DR
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.
Abstract
ABSTRACT The combined effects of total sleep loss and the deprivation of stage 4 or stage REM were studied in I two separate experiments. Two full nights or sleep loss preceded stage 4 deprivation or stage REM deprivation in Experiment 1 (N=12); 1 full night of sleep loss followed 3 nights or stage 4 deprivation or stage REM deprivation in Experiment 2 (N=I4). Total sleep loss before sleep stage deprivation significantly increased the number of attempts to enter stage 4, but had little influence on stage REM. A significant REM rebound was found in only one of the REM‐deprived groups, but there was a significant stage 4 rebound in all groups on the first full recovery night, supporting the hypothesis from other studies that stage 4 has priority over REM in terms of recovery from sleep loss. The results suggested that stages 2, 3, and 4 partially overlap in their recuperative functions.

A controlled, crossover study of real driving at night and the effects of coffee or napping on nighttime driving performances in a real-life environment showed that sleepiness and performances are significantly more affected by sleep deprivation in a simulated environment than in the real world.

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.

It is suggested that a chronic loss of sleep as much as 2 1/2 hours a night is not likely to result in major behavioral consequences and the mood scales showed no changes associated with continuing to sleep 5 1/5 hrs a night.

This work has suggested that rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a non-specific indication of many forms of synthesis within cerebral neurones, and that periods of massive learning would cause high percentages of REM sleep.

It is concluded that spectra are adequate measurement parameters for all sleep stages with the possible exception of the stage 1/REM discrimination, where the level of performance is marginally acceptable.

Depriving the S of stage REM or stage 4 during recovery sleep does not affect the recuperation rate and the amount of sleep is probably more important than the kind of sleep.

Ss who had no stage deprivation prior to 1 night of sleep loss had more impairment following sleep loss than did the Ss of this study, and there were no marked changes in any area following 3 nights of stage REM and stage 4 deprivation.

57 Citations1965Harold Sampson
The psychologic phenomenon of dreaming occurs during REM periods and this finding allows investigation of the function of dreaming sleep by reducing REM time, and subjects showed a progressive increase in dream attempts during a series of deprivation nights and a marked elevation in dream time that grossly compensated for the prior REM deficit.
