Sleep was recorded in 9 drug-free depressive patients and 9 age- and sex-matched normal control subjects. All-night spectral analysis of the sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) showed a significantly reduced power density in the 0.25-2.50 Hz bands in the depressive group. Power density values integrated over the entire frequency range (0.25-25.0 Hz) exhibited for both groups a decreasing trend over the first 3 non-REM [rapid eye movement]/REM sleep cycles. In each cycle depressives had lower values than controls. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the build-up of a sleep-dependent process is deficient in the sleep regulation of depressive patients.
