During simulated hyperbaric saturation diving experiments of He-O2 mixture at the depths of 150, 180 and 230 m the standard polysomnography of four divers, as well as their subjective feelings of fatigue, were recorded for 268 nights. In all three diving conditions, during the bottom period and the decompression period, wakes after sleep onset and Stage 1 sleep increased while Stage 4 sleep decreased. In deeper diving conditions stage 4 sleep tended to decrease and subjective feelings of fatigue increased. When the results are considered it can be assumed that the deeper the diving depths, the increased sleep disturbances and fatigue. However, it is believed that a fundamental sleep pattern will be maintained.

D004242 Diving An activity in which the organism plunges into water. It includes scuba and bell diving. Diving as natural behavior of animals goes here, as well as diving in decompression experiments with humans or animals. Divings
D006371 Helium A noble gas with the atomic symbol He, atomic number 2, and atomic weight 4.003. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is not combustible and does not support combustion. It was first detected in the sun and is now obtained from natural gas. Medically it is used as a diluent for other gases, being especially useful with oxygen in the treatment of certain cases of respiratory obstruction, and as a vehicle for general anesthetics. Helium-4,Helium 4
D006610 High Pressure Neurological Syndrome A syndrome related to increased atmospheric pressure and characterized by tremors, nausea, dizziness, decreased motor and mental performance, and SEIZURES. This condition may occur in those who dive deeply (c. 1000 ft) usually while breathing a mixture of oxygen and helium. The condition is associated with a neuroexcitatory effect of helium.
