老年女性比老年男性在36小时睡眠剥夺后有更好的恢复睡眠，这可以通过更高的睡眠维持/效率和更多的慢波睡眠（特别是第4阶段睡眠）来证明。在恢复睡眠期间，两组都表现出REM潜伏期减少（两名男性和三名女性在总共40个恢复夜晚中有7个睡眠开始的REM期），早期REM睡眠的百分比减少，整夜REM睡眠时间增加。在睡眠剥夺后，男性和女性的情绪状态概况的总情绪障碍评分都增加了（反映了活力的下降以及疲劳和紧张的增加）。虽然女性的增加趋势更大，但两组的自我情绪评分在一晚恢复睡眠后恢复到基线水平。这些观察结果强调了性别在决定晚年睡眠结构方面的重要性，并表明老年女性实现慢波睡眠和长时间不间断睡眠的能力大于男性。
Elderly women had better recovery sleep than elderly men following 36-h sleep deprivation, as evidenced by higher sleep maintenance/efficiency and more slow wave sleep (particularly in the amount of stage 4 sleep). During recovery sleep, both groups showed REM latency reduction (two men and three women had seven sleep-onset REM periods out of a total of 40 recovery nights), decrease in percentage of early REM sleep and increase in whole-night REM sleep time. Total Mood Disturbance scores on the Profile of Mood States increased in both men and women following sleep deprivation (reflecting a decrease in vigor and increase in fatigue and tension). While the increase tended to be greater in women, in both groups self-ratings of mood returned to baseline after 1 night of recovery sleep. These observations underscore the importance of gender in determining late-life sleep structure and suggest that the ability of older women to achieve slow wave sleep and to have long uninterrupted sleep in greater than that of men.
