Narcolepsy with long sleep time: a specific entity?

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The classical narcolepsy patient reports intense feelings of sleepiness (with/out cataplexy), normal or disrupted nighttime sleep, and takes short and restorative naps. However, with long-term monitoring, we identified some narcoleptics ... Read more...

Does the circadian modulation of dream recall modify with age?

30 Aug 2009 STUDY OBJECTIVES: The ultradian NREM-REM sleep cycle and the circadian modulation of REM sleep sum to generate dreaming. Here we investigated age-related changes in dream recall, number of dreams, and emotional domain characteristics of dreaming ... Read more...

Upper airway collapsibility during REM sleep in children with the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY OBJECTIVES: In children, most obstructive events occur during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. We hypothesized that children with the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), in contrast to age-matched control subjects, would not maintain ... Read more...
