Plasma Catecholamines and Selective Slow Wave Sleep Deprivation

Abstract: The present study evaluated the effect of slow wave sleep (SWS) deprivation on plasma levels of catecholamines in healthy male volunteers. Eleven volunteers spent 4 nights in the sleep laboratory (2 nights of habituation and 2 further nights); during the latter, 1 night served as control, and in the other, SWS deprivation was performed. Blood was drawn at 30-min intervals. SWS was reduced by 86%; no sleep stage 4 was observed during the SWS-deprived nights. SWS reduction was found not to correlate with catecho… Show more

“…Increases in plasma epinephrine and subjective reports of non-restorative sleep in young adults have also been reported (Tiemeier, 2002) with sleep fragmentation resulting in impairments on cognitive and reaction time tasks (see Stepanski, 2002, for a review). In addition, interrupted sleep results in a reduction in the initiation of tasks, such as the number of math problems attempted (Bonnet, 1985).…”

“…4144 During both brief and extended arousals during sleep, increased metabolism is evidenced by increased oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production 43. Levels of catecholamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine have been correlated with fragmented sleep 44.…”

“…The daily norepinephrine rhythm is weaker and mainly a direct result of the daily rhythm in sleep and wakefulness [130]. Accordingly, under normal conditions sleep onset is associated with a rapid decline in circulating catecholamines and various reports have shown lower levels of these hormones during sleep compared to wakefulness [131].…”
