Abstract

Introduction To our knowledge there is no evidence in the literature about the relationship between subjective sleep estimation and objective sleep variables in depression. It is not known whether the subjective estimation of sleep quality and sleep duration is directly related to any objective sleep variable in depressed patients.Methods Thirty patients with major depression and 10 healthy subjects have been investigated in our sleep laboratory during 1 or 2 consecutive nights after 1 night for adaptation. Every subject, after final awakening in the laboratory, answered questions concerning the subjective feelings about sleep duration, number of awakenings and sleep depth. We compared the sleep estimation in both groups and calculated the correlation between objective and subjective sleep variables in depressed patients.Results The degree of a wrong sleep estimation in depressed patients is larger than in healthy subjects. Slow wave sleep (SWS) in depressed patients correlates positively with the subjective estimation of sleep duration. Eye movement density in REM sleep correlates with the subjective estimation of the number of awakenings.Conclusion SWS in depression has a positive influence on the subjective feeling of sleep duration while phasic REM sleep activity has a negative influence.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Discrepancies between self-report and objective measures of sleep are common.

    “However, discrepancies between self-report and objective measures of sleep are common [38–42] and there is a tendency for people with insomnia to overestimate how long it takes them to get to sleep and also to underestimate the total amount of time that they spend asleep, relative to objective measures [43].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
