Multiple
sleep latency test and polysomnography in diagnosing Kleine-Levin syndrome and periodic hypersomnia.
variable was correlated with sleep efficiency, Stage N3
sleep latency, Stage N 1-2-3 percentages and total sleep time at significant levels.
It was found that subcomponent scores of
sleep latency, sleep disturbance, and subjective sleep quality were comparatively higher.
Benzodiazepines, while decreasing
sleep latency and arousals, are known to affect sleep quality by reducing REM and slow-wave sleep and increasing stage 1 and 2 NREM sleep.
The effect of stimulant medication on
sleep latency became greater when the stimulant was taken more frequently throughout the day," Ms.
010) of the sleep quality score with SOL in PS suggested that
sleep latency may be an important determinant of subjective sleep quality among Indian male students with sleep problems.
Children with narcolepsy usually show shortened average
sleep latency on their EEG and sleep onset REM periods.
021, in the
sleep latency component with P Less than 0.
The following sleep parameters were examined for every 24-h period and per sleep episode (automatically calculated from the software): 1) Actual sleep time--sleep start to sleep end minus wake time; 2) Sleep efficiency--the percentage of time spent asleep from sleep onset calculated by ((sleep duration--wake time)/sleep duration) x 100); 3)
Sleep latency (time from bed time to sleep onset); and 4) Percentage moving time--the time spent moving as a percentage of the assumed sleep time, which is derived from the number of epochs where scores greater than zero were recorded ((sum of duration of moving time epochs > 0)/sleep duration) x 100) and is an indicator of restlessness.
In this study, we aimed to compare polysomnography (PSGI and multiple
sleep latency test (MSLT) findings in narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia patients.
On the fourth day objective sleepiness was assessed with the Multiple
Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), and meals were provided five times to assess diet.
It suggest that the practice of yoga by medical students may increase their quality of sleep by decreasing day time sleepiness and
sleep latency which significantly influences the subjective sleep quality.
