Changes in respiration, heart rate, and systolic blood pressure in human sleep
Abstract
Twelve subjects were studied for a total of 30 nights of uninterrupted sleep by simultaneous recording of EEG, eye movements, heart rate, respiration, and systolic blood pressure. In agreement with previous reports, progressive decreases in heart and respiratory rates and an early fall followed by a sustained rise in systolic blood pressure were found to be consistent base-line trends. Superimposed upon these trends and coinciding with the regular recurrence of stage I rapid eye movements (REM) there were periodic changes in these three functions of two kinds: a) slight increases in average level and b) marked increases in minute-to-minute variability. The changes in average level of blood pressure and of both blood pressure and heart rate variability were more conspicuous during the later REM periods of the night. Alternative interpretations and possible medical implications of these findings are discussed. dreaming; sleep and EEG; eye movements and sleep Submitted on October 11, 1963

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.
