Studies were carried out on a group of 6 young(ages 23-30) and 6 older (aged 53-70) normal men who lived under conditions of temporal, but not social isolation, from 3- to 8-wk. During entrained and non-entrained (free-running) conditions, comparative measurements were made of sleep-wake cycles, sleep stages and rectal temperature rhythms for these 2 age groups. A reduction in the period and amplitude of the body temperature rhythms during free-running in the older group was observed. Sleep efficiency, total sleep time, REM [rapid eye movement] sleep latency, REM episode length, percent REM in the last 2 h of sleep, the length and frequency of arousals during sleep, and the terminal wake latency were all age related and dependent on entrainment. The period of the sleep-wake cycle, terminal awakenings from REM and percent REM in the first 3 h of sleep were not age related but were dependent on entrainment. Sleep stages as percents of total sleep time were age related but independent of entrainment; while sleep latency, mid-REM to mid-REM cycle length and the ratio of sleep to total time were neither age related nor dependent on entrainment. Individual chronobiological differences were prominent in the older group. Changes of period and of the phase relationship of sleep-wake and temperature rhythms occurred in several subjects during the non-entrained condition.
