Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Disorder
Resources for Patients and Caregivers
Non-rapid eye movement sleep, also known as quiescent sleep, is, collectively, sleep stages 1–3, previously known as stages 1–4. Rapid eye movement sleep is not included. There are distinct electroencephalographic and other characteristics seen in each stage.

- Sleep-related respiratory disruptions and laterodorsal tegmental nucleus in a mouse model of Parkinson's diseaseby Nicole C Miranda on November 20, 2024
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder affecting the motor system, with non-classic symptoms such as sleep disturbances and respiratory dysfunctions. These issues reflect a complex pathophysiological interaction that severely impacts quality of life. Using a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) mouse model of PD, we investigated these connections by analyzing sleep patterns and respiratory parameters during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Our...
- Altered Sleep Oscillations as Neurophysiological Biomarkers of Schizophreniaby Ahmad Mayeli on November 19, 2024
Sleep spindles and slow waves are the two main oscillatory activities occurring during nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Here, we will first describe the electrophysiological characteristics of these sleep oscillations along with the neurophysiological and molecular mechanisms underlying their generation and synchronization in the healthy brain. We will then review the extant evidence of deficits in sleep spindles and, to a lesser extent, slow waves, including in slow wave-spindle coupling, in...
- Spike-spindle coupling during sleep and its mechanism explanation in childhood focal epilepsyby Min Pan on November 18, 2024
Childhood focal epilepsy (CFE) is a serious neurological disorder characterized by epileptic seizures arising from a focal or multi-focal zone of the brain in clinics. During non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep stage, epileptiform discharges become frequent, and sleep spindles are generated through local interaction between thalamic neurons for CFE patients. Recent research has shown that epileptiform spikes significantly induce spindle oscillations within 1 s (say, spike-spindle coupling)...
- Ginsenoside Rg1 promotes non-rapid eye movement sleep via inhibition of orexin neurons of the lateral hypothalamus and corticotropin-releasing hormone neurons of the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleusby Yi-Yuan Wang on November 15, 2024
CONCLUSION: Rg1 increases the duration of NREM sleep, underscoring the essential roles of LH^(orexin) and PVH^(CRH) neurons in facilitating the sleep-promoting effects of Rg1. Please cite this article as: Wang YY, Wu Y, Yu KW, Xie HY, Gui Y, Chen CR, Wang NH. Ginsenoside Rg1 promotes non-rapid eye movement sleep via inhibition of orexin neurons of the lateral hypothalamus and corticotropin-releasing hormone neurons of the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus.
