The hypnotic effect of a new triazolobenzodiazepine, triazolam ( Halcion®) 0.5 mg and methyprylon 300 mg was compared in twenty oncologic inpatient volunteers with insomnia using the preference technique. On the first night of the two-night trial, triazolam or methyprylon was given on a double-blind basis and on the second night the patients received the alternate medication. Following each trial night the patients were interviewed in regard to their sleep. Of the seventeen patients who completed the study, eleven patients preferred triazolam, three preferred methyprylon and three had no preference ( p = 0.057). Analysis of the various sleep parameters showed that triazolam helped the patients sleep more than methyprylon ( p = 0.013), induced more rapid sleep onset ( p = 0.003), gave a longer duration of sleep ( p = 0.013). The treatment was considered a success if the patient went to sleep in thirty minutes or less and slept for at least six hours. Triazolam was more successful than methyprylon in this respect ( p = 0.012). There were no side-effects reported on either of the drugs.

Abstract High-resolution frequency methods were used to describe the spectral and topographic microstructure of human spontaneous alpha activity in the drowsiness (DR) period at sleep onset and during REM sleep. Electroencephalographic (EEG), electrooculographic (EOG), and electromyographic (EMG) measurements were obtained during sleep in 10 healthy volunteer subjects. Spectral microstructure of alpha activity during DR showed a significant maximum power with respect to REM-alpha bursts for the components in the 9.7-10.9 Hz range, whereas REM-alpha bursts reached their maximum statistical differentiation from the sleep onset alpha activity at the components between 7.8 and 8.6 Hz. Furthermore, the maximum energy over occipital regions appeared in a different spectral component in each brain activation state, namely, 10.1 Hz in drowsiness and 8.6 Hz in REM sleep. These results provide quantitative information for differentiating the drowsiness alpha activity and REM-alpha by studying their microstructural properties. On the other hand, these data suggest that the spectral microstructure of alpha activity during sleep onset and REM sleep could be a useful index to implement in automatic classification algorithms in order to improve the differentiation between the two brain states.

ZusammenfassungUnter Bezugnahme auf einen Fallbericht mit stromstoßartigen Empfindungen im Rachen beim Einschlafen sowie Zusammenzucken infolge Erschreckens dabei und unabhängig davon Zuckungen der Arme oder Beine sowie Apnoen wird auf das Vorkommen von sensiblen oder sensorischen Wahrnehmungen als ungewöhnliche Begleiterscheinungen von Einschlafmyoklonien hingewiesen. Sie können auch ohne Zuckungen als deren Äquivalente bzw. Varianten auftreten und werden sensory sleep starts genannt. Bislang hat das Gefühl des explodierenden Kopfes besondere Beachtung gefunden und ist in der internationalen Klassifikation der Schlafstörungen als exploding head syndrome neben den Halluzinationen angeführt, obgleich es zu diesen gehört.
