Abstract

Polysomnographic data recorded from a large sample of normal. healthy, adult volunteer subjects are reported. First and second night summary values are included. Results agree remarkably well with previously published findings and the age-related differences in sleep architecture that we found are described in detail. We also discuss some of the unique methodological problems associated with developing normative sleep values.
