Relationship between EEG sleep patterns and clinical improvement in depressed patients treated with sleep deprivation. 1980

W C Duncan, and J C Gillin, and R M Post, and R H Gerner, and T A Wehr

The effects of a single night of total sleep deprivation were observed in 16 primary depressed patients. Responders to treatment were rated as significantly more depressed and revealed a more "depressed" EEG sleep pattern prior to sleep deprivation than did nonresponders. Following sleep deprivation, patients who improved experienced a rebound in REM sleep during the second night of recovery sleep.
