Sleep abnormalities in patients with brain stem lesions

O N Markand, M L Dyken

    Neurology
    |August 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pontine lesions severely disrupt sleep patterns in locked-in syndrome patients, often eliminating Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. These findings highlight the crucial role of pontine structures in regulating human sleep states.
