title: Effect of mood during daily life on autonomic nervous activity balance during subsequent sleep.
abstract: RR-interval and eight types of mood level were recorded for 48 h from 40 normal male subjects. Sympathovagal balance was evaluated by calculating the normalized high-frequency power (HFnu) of RR-interval variability. The mean mood levels during 6 h before bedtime and the mean HFnu during 3 h after bedtime were compared. The data were normalized individually and the differences from the first night (Deltamood and DeltaHFnu) were taken. The correlation coefficient between Deltadepression and DeltaHFnu was -0.53, and that between Deltaworry and DeltaHFnu was -0.44. This implies that both daily depression and worry shift toward sympathetic dominance during subsequent sleep.
