“…REM sleep abnormalities have also been reported in these patients [5,47,48]. Mossberg et al [49] postulated that sleep difficulties after acute withdrawal will last 4-8 weeks. After 1 or 2 years of abstinence, the sleep records of alcoholics were partly normalized, but the percent of S4 remained decreased [50].…”

Sleep among Habitually Violent Offenders with Antisocial Personality Disorder

The aim of the present study was to characterize the subjective and objective sleep and sleep quality in habitually violent offenders with DSM-IV diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder using a sleep questionnaire, actigraphy, polysomnography and power spectral analysis. Subjects for the study were 19 drug-free males (mean age ± SEM 30.7 ± 2.58 years) recruited from a forensic psychiatric examination in a special ward of a university psychiatric hospital. The most striking finding was the high amount of slow-wave sleep, particularly the deepest S4 stage (17% as compared with 6% in healthy controls), in males with antisocial personality disorder. Moreover, in the spectral power analysis, both the delta and the theta power were significantly elevated. Whether this increase in persons with antisocial personality disorder reflects a specific brain pathology, or a delay in the normal development of sleep patterns in the course of ageing needs to be clarified with further experiments.

“…The inset depicting the AUC values shows a strong trend toward a significant effect of Group (P=0.051) 2000). Distinct phases also have been seen in humans during acute ethanol withdrawal (Majchrowicz 1977;Mello and Mendelson 1977;Mossberg et al 1985). There are several plausible explanations as to why nicotine withdrawal may consist of various stages.…”

Increases in total nicotine dose resulted in increased severity of the affective aspects of withdrawal. Further, continuous drug exposure resulted in longer lasting withdrawal than intermittent administration even when the total nicotine dose was the same. There was no correlation between threshold elevations and somatic signs of withdrawal. In conclusion, the severity of nicotine withdrawal is mitigated by characteristics of the drug exposure regimen such as drug dose, duration of exposure and whether exposure is continuous or intermittent.

“…This suggests that sleep disturbance is a protracted form of alcohol withdrawal. Mossberg et al (1985) postulate that acute withdrawal is followed by a stage lasting 4-8 weeks when sleep difficulties are likely. Following that is another stage of 3 weeks that are marked by mood swings where the subject is particularly vulnerable to relapse.…”
