The duration of slow-wave sleep (SWS) is related to the reported quality and important variables mental physical health. internal cues end an episode SWS are poorly understood. One such cue initiation a body movement, which detectable as electromyographic (EMG) activity in sleep-electroencephalography (EEG). In present study, we characterized termination episodes by movement explore its potential biomarker. To this end, relation between occurrence individual characteristics (age, sex), spectral content, chronotype, depression, medication, overnight memory performance, and, neurological application, epilepsy. We analyzed 94 full-night EEG-EMG recordings (75/94 had confirmed epilepsy) video-EEG monitoring unit EpiCARE Centre Salzburg, Austria. Segments were counted rated for their or not through visual inspection continuous EEG EMG recordings. Multiple linear regression was used predict number that ended with type epilepsy (focal, generalized, no epilepsy, unclear), gender, total SWS, seizures during night, tonic-clonic frequency spectra. Furthermore, assessed whether retention. According multiple regression, patients overall longer experienced more (t = 5.64; p 0.001). No other variable proportion including epilepsy-related variable. A small sample (n 4) taking Sertraline significant compared all 8.00; < 0.001) n 35 who did take any medication 4.22; While result based on subsample must be interpreted caution, it warrants replication larger without further elucidate role serve biomarker continuity effects sleep.
