The sleep of patients with panic disorder: a preliminary report.
Electroencephalographic sleep recordings were compared in patients with panic disorder and normal controls. Correlation coefficients of standard sleep parameters versus ratings of anxiety, depression, and panic attack frequency were calculated in the panic-anxious patients. Overall findings are discussed in the context of previous sleep studies in patients with depressive, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
