The first night in a sleep lab disrupts sleep patterns, impacting electroencephalogram (EEG) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. These first-night effects may influence subsequent sleep, suggesting all recorded nights are crucial for accurate sleep assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sleep Medicine

Background:

  • The first night in a sleep laboratory often exhibits altered sleep patterns, known as the first-night effect.
  • Understanding these transient sleep disturbances is crucial for accurate sleep research and diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the electroencephalogram (EEG) changes during the first and second nights of sleep in a laboratory setting.
  • To analyze spectral characteristics of sleep and their relationship to visual scoring findings.
  • To explore the potential impact of first-night sleep alterations on subsequent sleep stages, particularly REM sleep.

Main Methods:

  • Polygraphic sleep recordings and all-night spectral analysis were employed.
  • Eighteen healthy subjects underwent three consecutive nights of monitoring in a sleep laboratory.

  • Visual sleep scoring and spectral analysis of the sleep EEG were performed.

    • Main Results:

    • Visual scoring confirmed a first-night effect, characterized by increased wakefulness and reduced total sleep time, sleep efficiency, and REM sleep.
    • Spectral analysis revealed significant changes in REM sleep on the second night, including increased delta, theta, and beta1 power densities.
    • These spectral changes suggest a potential partial REM sleep deprivation on the second night, stemming from the first night's disturbances.

    Conclusions:

    • The first-night effect in a sleep laboratory serves as a valid model for transient insomnia.
    • Observed spectral changes in REM sleep on the second night support the hypothesis of REM sleep deprivation due to the first-night effect.
    • It is recommended to include data from all recorded nights in sleep assessments to account for these transient effects.
