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.

- Midpoint of sleep is associated with sleep quality in older adults with and without symptomatic Alzheimer's diseaseby Scott C Sauers on May 7, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Noninvasive in vivo markers of brain function, such as sleep, are needed to track both future risk of cognitive impairment and response to interventions in older adults at risk for AD. Sleep timing is associated with multiple other sleep measures and may affect their utility as markers of AD. The midpoint of sleep may be changed through behavioral intervention and should be taken into account when using sleep as a marker for AD risk.
- Sleep disturbance in clinical and preclinical scrapie-infected sheep measured by polysomnographyby Diego Sola Fraca on May 3, 2024
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by neuronal loss and abnormal deposition of pathological proteins in the nervous system. Among the most common neurodegenerative diseases are Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease and transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). Sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances are one of the most common symptoms in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, one of the main objectives in the study of TSEs is to...
- Different heart rate variability profile during sleep in mid-later life adults with remitted early-onset versus late-onset depressionby Shawn D X Kong on May 3, 2024
CONCLUSION: The findings suggest differential autonomic profile for remitted early-onset and late-onset mid-later life adults during sleep stages and wake periods. The differences could potentially serve as peripheral biomarkers in conjunction with more disease-specific markers of depression to improve diagnosis and prognosis.
- Sleep Delta power, age, and sex effects in treatment-resistant depressionby Nadia S Hejazi on May 2, 2024
Electroencephalographic (EEG) deficits in slow wave activity or Delta power (0.5-4 Hz) indicate disturbed sleep homeostasis and are hallmarks of depression. Sleep homeostasis is linked to restorative sleep and potential antidepressant response via non-rapid eye movement (NREM) slow wave sleep (SWS) during which neurons undergo essential repair and rejuvenation. Decreased Low Delta power (0.5-2 Hz) was previously reported in individuals with depression. This study investigated power levels in the...
