Discrepancies in the Time Course of Sleep Stage Dynamics, Electroencephalographic Activity and Heart Rate Variability Over Sleep Cycles in the Adaptation Night in Healthy Young Adults

Abstract: ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to characterize the cyclic sleep processes of sleep-stage dynamics, cortical activity, and heart rate variability during sleep in the adaptation night in healthy young adults.MethodsSeventy-four healthy adults participated in polysomnographic recordings on two consecutive nights. Conventional sleep variables were assessed according to standard criteria. Sleep-stage continuity and dynamics were evaluated by sleep runs and transitions, respectively. These variables were … Show more

“…Overall, our sleep architecture findings showed that, during the first night spent in the laboratory, sleep was less efficient, more fragmented (i.e., higher WASO), and shallower (i.e., reduced N3 NREM sleep). Previous studies reported a lower sleep efficiency [ 11 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ] and higher WASO [ 20 , 21 , 23 ] during the first night’s sleep, which is consistent with our results. Of note, these effects did not survive multiple comparisons; however, we still believe that these differences are relevant and that they should be considered when performing across conditions and/or across group comparisons in sleep architecture parameters.…”

“…Another important finding of the present study was that, during the first night of sleep, the power spectra of the higher frequency bands (i.e., sigma, beta, and gamma) were enhanced when compared to the second sleep night. A higher level of activity in these fast frequency bands, which are more commonly observed during wakefulness, may reflect hyperarousability and/or increased alertness during sleep in order to ensure safety when sleeping in a new environment [ 21 ]. Indeed, during NREM sleep, both neuronal firing and gamma power tend to decrease, as does the ability to process sensory information [ 24 , 25 ].…”

“…Third, PSG was performed for one night. Previous studies have shown that there is a first-night effects on the sleep architecture ( 42 ) as well as the occurrence of RMMA ( 28 ): RMMA was significantly lower in the first night than the second night. Therefore, the RMMA in this study can be underestimated due to the first night effect.…”

“…Since OSA patients with SB had a lower AHI and ArTH, RMMA may be more responsive to mild rather than severe airway obstruction (i.e., less oxygen desaturation and respiratory flow limitations) (19). Transient arousal events related to NREM-REM sleep cycles were found to be important for the genesis of RMMA (29,41). Therefore, RMMA may be more responsive to endogenously generated rather than respiratory-induced transient arousal events.…”

“…First, autonomic adaptation processes within the central nervous system are significantly vulnerable when subjects sleep in a sleep laboratory [ 25 ]. The test results in the laboratory may not be representative of the state of everyday life.…”
