Sleep apnea and mortality in an aged cohort
In the aged, sleep may be a vulnerable period for death from cardiovascular causes. Because of its high prevalence in the elderly, sleep apnea has been suggested to be one mechanism contributing to such sleep-related mortality. In this study, a cohort of 198 non-institutionalized elderly individuals (mean age at entry = 66) were followed for periods up to 12 years after initial polysomnography. The mortality ratio for sleep apnea (defined as a Re…

Electroencephalographic and Autonomic Activity During and After Prolonged Sleep Deprivation
Simultaneous recordings of EEG, EOG, EMG, HR, GSR, respiration, skin temperature, and plethysmogram were obtained from a 17-year-old boy following 236, 246, and 264 hr. of wakefulness, during 3 recovery nights, 1 week, 6 weeks, and 7 months after end of deprivation. The EEG indicated dominant slow activity with minimum alpha during deprivation. Opening and closing of eyes had little effect on the EEC and stimuli did not produce alpha enhancement.…
