Poligraphic Study of Sleep

RESULTS
Total time of the registry: 470 minutes
Duration of the episode of the dream: 306 minutes
Efficiency of the dream: 65%
Cycles of REM dream: --

Percentage of the different stages of dream:
· Intra-dream wakefulness: 35%
· Stage I: 6%
· Stage II: 52%
· Stage III: 5%
· Stage IV: 2%
· REM stage: --

Latency of the dream: 21 minutes
Latency to 1º REM: -- minutes
Number of intra-dream awakenings: 43 (11 minor than 2 minutes, 32 larger than 2 minutes)
Episodes of apnea/hipoapnea: --

PULSE METER
Average saturation of O2: 94%
Maximum saturation of O2: 96%
Minimum saturation of O2: 98%
Cardiac frequency average: 71 lpm

CONSIDERATIONS ON RESULTS
The registry shows a dream with a diminished efficiency and an alteration of its structure, since all the stages of slow NREM dream and mainly the REM dream, which is absent, are clearly diminished in frequency. On the other hand, the stages of superficial NREM dream are increased in compensation.
These findings appear in relation to the presence of frequent "arousals", or micro-awakenings, without neither epileptogenic activity nor previous leading situation which justifies them (episodes of apnea/hipoapnea, periodic movements of the legs, etc...)
