Respiratory volumes and timing were measured in 19 healthy adults during wakefulness and sleep. Minute ventilation was significantly less (P < 0.05) in all stages of sleep than when the subject was awake (7.66 .+-. 0.34 [SEM [standard error of the mean]] l/min), the level in rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep (6.46 .+-. 0.29 l/min) being significantly lower than in non-REM sleep (7.18 .+-. 0.39 l/min). The breathing pattern during all stages of sleep was significantly more rapid and shallow than during wakefulness, tidal volume in REM sleep being reduced to 73% of the level during wakefulness. Mean inspiratory flow rate (VT/Ti), an index of inspiratory drive, was significantly lower in REM sleep than during wakefulness or non-REM sleep. Ventilation falls during sleep, the greatest reduction occurring during REM sleep, when there is a parallel reduction in inspiratory drive. Similar changes in ventilation may contribute to the REM-associated hypoxemia in normal subjects and in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
