No gender differences were found in daytime sleepiness for children at similar Tanner stages, but more mature children were significantly sleepier at 1330 and 1530 than in the late afternoon and evening.
PsychophysiologyCumulative Effects of Sleep Restriction on Daytime Sleepiness

During the recovery period, daytime sleepiness returned to basal values on all three measures following one full night of sleep; with a daytime nap, no further cumulative effects of sleep restriction were seen.

The multiple sleep latency test appears to be a valuable operationally defined tool for measuring daytime sleepiness and showed a significantly less positive mood and a greater degree of sleepiness during sleep loss, with a recovery to baseline levels after one full night of sleep.

There were no marked differences in the sleep loss response of young adolescents as compared to published reports of sleep loss in older subjects.

Compared to baseline, REM sleep 24 h was decreased in the normals and increased in the narcoleptic, and time spent in slow wave sleep and stage 2 was also reduced in the normal subjects on the 90-min schedule, and stage 1 sleep time was increased.
SLEEPDisorders of Excessive Daytime Somnolence: Polygraphic and Clinical Data for 100 Patients
165 Citations1981Johanna Van den Hoed, Helena C. Kraemer +5 more
A consecutive series of 100 sleep apnea free patients with the complaint of excessive daytime somnolence (EDS) were evaluated and significant differences in sleep latency during MSLT and NPSG testing were found between different EDS diagnostic groups of non-narcoleptic patients.

149 Citations1981Mary A. Carskadon, Kim Harvey +1 more
Children appear to be able to tolerate a single night of restricted sleep, although they do not recover as rapidly as adult subjects.

Another measure of daytime sleepiness which is not dependent on the patient's subjective response is clearly needed, and the Stanford group recently introduced the MUltiple Sleep Latency Test.

142 Citations1979Merrill M. Mitler, Johanna Van den Hoed +5 more
The Multiple Sleep Latency Test can provide physicians with data useful in the diagnosis of narcolepsy, and it is concluded that this procedure can receive physicians' approval.

Phenelzine almost completely suppressed rapid-eye-movement sleep and remained effective for periods of more than a year, with striking reductions in the amount of cataplectic attacks, sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations.
Electroencephalography and Clinical NeurophysiologyThe nature of sleep attack and other symptoms of narcolepsy
73 Citations1968Yasuo Hishikawa, Hisashige Nan’no +4 more
It is suggested that during sleep under unstable and uncomfortable conditions, narcoleptics are completely or incompletely deprived of the REM stage, and that, during sleep in the following period under stable and comfortable conditions, they tend to show a compensatory increase in its amount.
Electroencephalography and Clinical NeurophysiologyREM sleep and NREM sleep in narcolepsy and hypersomnia
50 Citations1969B Roth, S Brůhová +1 more
The authors consider cataplexy, sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations as dissociated manifestations of REM sleep, as well as all kinds of hypersomnia, is due to a disturbance of the NREM sleep system.
