Estrogen treatment decreases active phase rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in ovariectomized rats. Here we explored further the effect of 17α-ethinyl estradiol (17α-EE) on active phase REM sleep in ovariectomized rats by analyzing spectral properties and the number and length of REM sleep bouts. The greatest suppression of REM sleep occurred on day 4 of 17α-EE treatment, was due to decreases in bout length, and was accompanied by decreased EEG theta power. These results further elucidate 17α-EE's effects on REM sleep and provide greater understanding of the mechanisms by which estrogens alter sleep–wakefulness patterns.
