TL;DR
It is concluded that sleep measures are unlikely to be useful as trait markers of a depressive diathesis in bipolar disorder.
Abstract
The sleep of 10 bipolar patients was recorded for five consecutive nights following their recovery from a depressive episode. In all respects except the number of arousals, their sleep did not differ reliably from that of 10 sex and age-matched control subjects. We conclude that sleep measures are unlikely to be useful as trait markers of a depressive diathesis in bipolar disorder.

The difficulties inherent in obtaining consistent and adequate diagnoses for the purposes of research and therapy have been pointed out and a wide variety of psychiatric rating scales have been developed.

The present scale has been devised for use only on patients already diagnosed as suffering from affective disorder of depressive type, used for quantifying the results of an interview, and its value depends entirely on the skill of the interviewer in eliciting the necessary information.

The authors believe that increased cholinergic sensitivity and REM density may be biological markers of increased vulnerability to bipolar affective illness.

The finding that hypersomnia is not an unusual symptom of depression has implications both for the classification of affective disorders and for biologic research.

Findings indicate that, in many patients, sleep is still disturbed more than six months after substantial clinical recovery from depression, and less homogeneity among formerly depressed patients than is found among controls.

In both the unipolar and bipolar samples, the duration of successive REM periods was related to the total number of REM periods during sleep.

In this patient, marked changes in EEG sleep (notably a decline in “sleep efficiency”) preceded both episodes of depressive episodes, considered to be of predictive, but not of etiological significance.
