“…Despite the known difficulties associated with the diagnosis of epileptic seizures in old age, there still seems to be little use of in-depth EEG investigations, including (Mattson et al, 1965;Drury and Beydoun, 1998;Hughes and Zialcita, 1999). Our study was prompted by our clinical impression (Arbasino et al, 2004), supported by literature data (Lieb et al, 1980;Rossi et al, 1984;Sammaritano et al, 1991;Malow et al, 1998;Ferrillo et al, 2000aFerrillo et al, , 2000b) that some epilepsy syndromes, particularly temporal lobe epilepsy, show a greater propensity to interictal spiking during deep NREM sleep.…”

“…Mania is hypothesised to cause insomnia and its development is self-reinforcing and potentially autonomous after being initiated by precipitants such as psychological, environmental and interpersonal factors (Wehr et al, 1987). Sleep deprivation can elicit paroxysmal EEG activity in healthy individuals (Rodin et al, 1962) and is an important predictor of interictal epileptiform discharges, implicated in the onset of recurrent seizures (Mattson et al, 1965). A reduction in the seizure threshold has been observed following sleep deprivation in amygdala kindled cats (Shouse and Sterman, 1982).…”

A review of some of the important recent findings on sleep and its disorders has been presented and they provide some insight into the mysterious process of sleep. Sleep is shown to be a very complex process which will require not only extension of the current researches but a revised approach into the areas covered by previous studies. Sleep is a unique state quite different from other phenomena of loss or change of consciousness. It is distinguished from hypnosis which may involve more the specific arousal system of the thalamus. Hypnotic blindness for example does not involve sleep changes but rather a reversal of the electrical activity of the visual cortex (38). Although there appears to be a system which alerts the sleeping organism to meaningful stimuli it seems that there is little evidence of significant new learning during sleep (12, 120, 153). Rather sleep involves the focusing of the activity of the central nervous system on its internal processes. Sleep produces a state of relative bodily inactivity but the central nervous system remains actively engaged in a restorative process not yet understood. The discovery of the REM state has shown the complexity of sleep. No study of the effect of physical or chemical stimuli on the nervous system during sleep will be adequate without the examination of effects and responses in the different phases of sleep. The lack of success of continuous sleep therapy may be in part due to suppression of REM sleep by the sedatives used (23). It should be stated, however, that clinical studies are also needed to supplement the more sophisticated and expensive scientific procedures. There are still many areas of controversy on the phenomenology of sleep disorder which need investigation.
