title: [Changes in sleep organization in two patients with progressive supranuclear palsy].
abstract: Sleep-EEG of two subjects affected by Progressive Supranuclear Palsy was studied. Morphological, reduced and poorly organized sleep transients (spindles) in stage 2 and decreased REMs during desynchronized sleep were observed. The quantitative sleep analysis showed a poor and fragmented sleep with an increase of stage 1 and stage 3 and a decrease of stage 2 and REM sleep.
