[Some indices of the activity of the brain in "rapid" sleep preceeded or not preceeded by delta-sleep].
In order to study the functional interaction between the delta sleep and the REM sleep some psychophysiological features of REM sleep were examined in REM-onset (without any preceding delta sleep--"early REM period") and in the REM period (REMP) terminating the normal sleep cycle (with the preceding delta sleep) of 92 daytime sleep attacks in 10 narcoleptic patients. Under these conditions the significant differences exist in the characteristics of the dream reports and in subjective estimations of sleep quality and duration. Sleep was evaluated as "superficial" and underestimations of sleep duration took place after an early REMP. Correct estimations of sleep duration and evaluations of sleep as "deep" dominated after REMP enging sleep cycles. The results obtained indicate the functional interaction between the delta sleep and REM sleep existing in the sleep cycle and largely determining the psychic content of the brain activity in the REM sleep.
