Abstract
The psychophysiological characteristics of premature (without preceding Δ-sleep) and regular periods of “rapid” sleep (RS) were investigated during a daytime attack of narcolepsy. Significant differences were found in the character of the dreams, their emotional content, and the patients' subjective assessments of the quality and duration of sleep during the attack. Functional interaction between RS and the preceding state, which in the normal sleep cycle is Δ-sleep, is deduced.
