Kleine-Levin syndrome is a disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of hypersomnia, hyperphagia and hypersexuality that typically occur weeks or months apart. A 17-years-old male showed these episodes and took nocturnal polysomnography(NPSG) and multiple sleep latency test(MSLT). As results of NPSG, sleep latency was 82.5min, sleep efficiency was 82.5min, sleep efficiency was 82.5%, latency and percentage of REM sleep were 106.5min and 14.6% and percentage of slow wave sleep was 12.7%. In 4 times MLST, average of sleep latency and REM latency were 8min 7sec and 5min 20sec with 3 times sleep onset REM period(SOREMP). These findings are consistent with these of Keine-Levin syndrome. And the possible causes and classification of this syndrome were discussed.

Schizophrenia is a chronic, currently incurable, and devastating syndrome. Although sleep disturbances are not primary symptoms of schizophrenia, they are important aspects of schizophrenia. Difficulties initiating or maintaining sleep are frequently encountered in patients with schizophrenia. Many schizophrenics report low subjective sleep quality. Measured by polysomnography, increased sleep latency as well as reduced total sleep time, sleep efficiency, slow wave sleep, and rapid eye movement sleep latency (REM latency), are found in most patients with schizophrenia and appear to be an important aspect of the pathophysiology of this disorder. Some literatures suggest that worsening sleep quality precedes schizophrenic exacerbations. Co-morbid sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and restless legs syndrome (RLS), and sleep-disrupting behaviors associated with schizophrenia may lead to sleep disturbances. Clinicians should screen the patient with sleep complaints for primary sleep disorders like OSA and RLS, and carefully evaluate sleep hygiene behaviors of all patients with schizophrenia who complain of sleep disturbances.

Objectives : Gyejigamchoyonggolmoryeo-tang (GT, Guizhigancaolonggumulitang in Chinese) is a herbal medicine to be prescribed for insomnia caused by anxiety induced by Heart-Heat and elevated Liver-Yang. In the present study, the onset time (sleep latency) and the duration time of sleep were measured to find out the sleep inducing effects of GT. The expression of c-fos immunohistochemistry was also measured at the ventrolateral preoptic area (VLPO) and tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) site in brain. Methods : The onset time (sleep latency) and the duration time of sleep were measured 30 minutes after thiopental sodium injection. Thereafter, brain tissue was obtained and c-fos immunohistochemistry was performed on the VLPO and TMN sites. Results : GT statistically significantly reduced the sleep latency required to enter sleep, and significantly increased sleep duration time. GT significantly increased the number of c-fos immunohistochemical staining-positive cells in the sleep-inducing center (VLPO), whereas GT significantly decreased the number of c-fos immunohistochemical staining-positive cells in the arousal center (TMN). Conclusions : It could be concluded that the GT shortened the sleep latency and increased the duration time for sleep induced by thiopental sodium. And it was confirmed that the mechanism was to stimulate the sleep-inducing center (VLPO) and suppress the arousal center (TMN) in the brain. The results of this study are considered to be useful as scientific evidence that can be used clinically for the treatment of insomnia caused by anxiety.

운동이 수면에 미치는 효과를 보다 명확하게 검증하기 위해 일반상태가 아닌 카페인으로 인한 수면장애 상태에서 운동의 효과를 조사하였다. 본 연구의 피험자는 3회의 실험 조건(1. 평상시, 2. 카페인 섭취, 3. 카페인섭취 $\times$운동)에 참여해서 이들의 수면변수와 수면시 뇌파를 측정하였다. 카페인은 고용량으로 1200mg(400mg$\times$3)을 투여하였으며, 운동강도는 60% V $O_{2peak}$에서 60분을 사이클 에르고미터를 이용해 실시하였다. 본 실험결과 카페인 섭취로 입면시간 연장과 수면효율성 감소 그리고 서파수면(SWS)의 감소로 수면에 불리한 효과를 유발시켰다. 하지만 카페인 섭취와 운동을 병행했을 때 카페인 투여시 발생된 효과를 상쇄시키는 효과가 나타났다. 이러한 결과로써 고용량의 카페인 섭취가 수면장애 유발 효과가 있었지만 운동을 병행해서 실시했을 때 수면촉진과 수면효율성 그리고 숙면인 서파수면의 증가가 나타남으로써 운동이 수면방해를 완화시키고 수면 향상에 효과가 있는 것으로 생각된다.

Polysomnography is used to diagnose many types of sleep disorders including sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, REM sleep behavior disorder, parasomnias, and narcolepsy. It is a comprehensive recording of the biophysiological changes that occur during sleep. The polysomnography monitors many body functions parameters including EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, respiratory airflow, respiratory effort, and pulse oximetry during sleep. Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) is performed for diagnosing narcolepsy and excessive daytime sleepiness. It is usually to be done after an overnight polysomnography. The test consists of four or five 20-minute nap opportunities that are scheduled two hours apart.

This study was performed In evaluate sleep efficiencies and conditions for comfortable sleep based on the analysis of Physiological signals under variations in thermal conditions. Five female subjects who have similar life cycle and sleep patterns were participated for the sleep experiment. It was checked whether they had a good sleep before the night of experiment. EEGs were obtained from C3-A2 and C4-A1 electrode sites and EOGs were acquired from LOC (left outer canthus) and ROC (right outer canthus) for REM sleep detection. Sleep stages were classified, then TST (total sleep time), SWS (slow wave sleep) latency and SWS/TST were calculated for the evaluation of sleep efficiencies on thermal conditions. TST was defined as an amount of time from sleep stage 1 to wakeup. SWS latency was from light off time to sleep stage 3 and percentage of SWS over TST was calculated for the evaluation of sleep quality and comfort sleep under thermal conditions. As result, the condition which raise a room temperature provided comfortable sleep.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of exercise load on sleep structure and stress hormone secretion during sleep. Methods: Five male physical education students were included in this study after giving their written, informed consents in the Research Institute for Sports Science at the University of Hanyang. All subjects have performed for at least 3 years in a regular aerobic exercises such as football, basketball, and running. The subjects were divided into three groups ; NOE(non-exercise), MDE(middle duration exercise), LDE(long duration excercise). MDE group maintained a total of 120 min exercise, and LDE group maintained a total of 300 min exercise by football, basketball or badminton. All subjects were acclimatized to the experimental sleep condition by spending one night under expermental conditions, including the placement of an intravenous catheter. During the subsequent night(24:00-08:00), somnopolygraphic sleep recordings were obtained, and blood for measuring growth hormone, cortisol, testosterone, and $\beta$-endorphin was collected every 120 min throughout the night. Blood samples were obtained from prominent forearm veins of subjects. Then, the samples were immediately placed in ice and centrifuged within 10 min at 3000 rpm at $4^{\circ}C$. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS/$PC^+$. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with repeated measures. Results: No significant differences among groups were observed in sleep latency, total sleep time, stage 2 sleep, and slow wave sleep. However, daytime exercise produced significant changes in stage 1 sleep, REM sleep, stage 2 sleep latency, REM sleep latency and sleep efficiency. Stage 1 sleep, stage 2 sleep latency, and REM sleep latency significantly increased in LDE compared to those of NOE and MDE groups. But the amount of REM sleep significantly decreased in LDE. Sleep efficiency of MDE was higher than those of NOE and LDE. The blood concentrations of growth hormone, testosterone, and cortisol during night sleep were significantly lower in LDE than in NOE. $\beta$-endorphin concentrations in blood during night sleep were not different among groups. Conclusion: The daytime exercise load was significantly related to sleep structure and stress hormone secretion during night sleep. Long duration exercise showed a harmful effect on sleep structure and hormone secretion. However, middle duration exercise had a beneficial effect on sleep structure and hormone secretion during sleep.

목 적：수면잠복기 반복검사(Multiple sleep latency test, MSLT)는 주간 졸림증을 측정하는 객관적 방법으로 현재 가장 널리 쓰이고 있다. 미국 수면학회의 MSLT guideline에서는 수면의 시작을 최소 1개 epoch의 1단계 수면으로 정의하고 있으나 여전히 상당수의 수면센터에서는 수면의 시작을 위해 3개 epoch 이상의 1단계수면을 요구하고 있다. 본 연구는 두가지 다른 기준의 적용에 의해 수면잠복기반복검사의 결과에 어느 정도의 차이가 발생하는지를 확인하고 보다 타당한 수면시작기준을 알아보고자 한다. 방 법：1999년 4월부터 2004년 7월까지 고려대병원 수면다원검사실에서 시행한 수면잠복기 반복검사중 60건(300 nap)의 수면잠복기 반복검사기록을 후향적으로 조사하였다. 동일한 수면잠복기 반복검사기록을 각기 1개 epoch 기준과 3개 epoch 기준을 적용하여 수면잠복기를 기록후 이를 통계적 방법으로 비교하였다. 결 과：전체 60명의 MSLT 중 수면시작의 기준을 달리 적용했을때 평균 수면잠복기 결과가 달라진 경우는 20명으로 33.3%였으며 3개 epoch 기준에 비해 1개 epoch 기준을 적용시 단축되는 평균수면잠복기의 변화율은 최소 1.3%에서 최대 38.5%으로 평균값은 15.9%였지만 통계적으로 의미있는 차이는 아니였으며 수면잠복기가 상대적으로 긴비기면병군이 기면병군에 비해 변화가 발생하는 비율이 더 높았다. 결 론：다른 수면시작기준의 적용에 따라 수면잠복기결과의 변화가 나타났으나 졸림증의 정도가 중등도이상인 경우 그차이는 통계적으로 의미있는 것은 아니였다. 하지만 임상적으로 의미있는 졸리움을 보다 민감하게 측정할 수 있는 기준이라는 측면에서는 1개 이포크기준이 보다 타당할 수 있겠다.

Authors report the findings of nocturnal polysomnography and multiple sleep latency test(MSLT) before and after morning light treatment in a winter depressive patient with hypersomnia. On polysomnographic recordings, the sleep pattern of this case before light treatment was similar to that of narcolepsy exhibited, sleep onset REM period(SOREMP). After treatment, the shortened REM latency changed to normal condition, but, deep sleep percentage did not changed, and stage 4 sleep percentage was decreased. Depressive symptoms were improved on clinical interview with Hamilton Depressive Rating Scale. Sleep log showed shortened sleep latency and reduced sleep duration. These findings suggest that although light treatment could alter the sleep structure in seasonal affective disorder with hypersomnia, it does not necessarily imply that antidepressant response of light treatment is result of change of sleep structure.

This experiment was performed to investigate whether the combined-preparation of water extracts of germinated brown rice (WGR), water extracts of cultured mountain ginseng (WCG) and 70% ethanol extracts of Longanae Arillus (ELA) has hypnotic effects and/or enhances pentobarbital-induced sleep behaviors through the GABAergic system. The combined-preparation of WGR and WCG reduced sleep latency and prolonged sleep time induced by pentobarbital. ELA also reduced sleep latency and prolonged sleep time induced by pentobarbital. However, WGR or WCG itself did not induce sleep. The combined-preparation of WGR, WCG and ELA strongly reduced sleep latency and prolonged sleep time via chloride influx into primary cultured cerebellar granule cells. In conclusion, the combined-preparation of WGR, WCG and ELA augments pentobarbital-induced sleep behaviors through the modification of GABAergic system.
