Effects of selective sleep deprivation on the hemodynamics of healthy individuals: a randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Human sleep is characterized by alternating cycles of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, with cardiovascular regulation differing across sleep stages. Sleep deprivation (SD) is prevalent in modern societies and can be associated with worsened cardiovascular outcomes. Previous research on SD has primarily focused on epidemiological concerns and the effects of total SD, while clinical data on the hemodynamic impact of selective SD during different sleep stages remain scarce. This study aimed to investigate the hemodynamic alterations in healthy volunteers undergoing acute selective SD of either REM or slow-wave sleep (SWS) under polysomnography guidance. Additionally, the cardiovascular stability of healthy individuals under selective SD and
