Impact of number of sleep ultradian cycles on polysomnographic parameters related to REM sleep in major depression: Implications for future sleep research in psychiatry. Psychiatry Res 2020; 285:112818. [PMID: 32035377 DOI: 10.1016/j.psychres.2020.112818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2019] [Revised: 01/18/2020] [Accepted: 01/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Given the contradictory data on REMS alterations in major depression, the aim of this study was to empirically demonstrate that based on the number of sleep ultradian cycles, it was possible to highlight different subtypes of major depression characterized by specific patterns of REMS alterations. Demographic and polysomnographic data from 211 individuals (30 healthy controls and 181 untreated major depressed individuals) recruited from the sleep laboratory database were analyzed. Major depressed individuals with sleep ultradian cycles <4 showed alterations consistent with REMS deficiency (non-shortened REM latency as well as decrease in REMS percentage, REMS duration and REMS/NREMS ratio) whereas major depressed individuals with sleep ultradian cycles >4 showed alterations consistent with REMS disinhibition (shortened REM latency as well as increase in REMS percentage, REMS duration and REMS/NREMS ratio). Regarding major depressed individuals with 4 sleep ultradian cycles, their REMS alterations were intermediate to those present in major depressed individuals with sleep ultradian cycles <4 and >4. Thus, in major depressed individuals, the highlighting of this heterogeneity of REMS alterations based on the number of sleep ultradian cycles seems to suggest the involvement of distinct pathophysiological mechanisms and could open new perspectives for future sleep research in psychiatry.

Research into an Association between Anhedonia and Decreased REM Latency in Moderately to Severely Depressed Patients. SLEEP DISORDERS 2018; 2018:1636574.

Abstract
Anhedonia stands as a core symptom and potential trait marker of major depressive disorder (MDD). The importance of rapid eye movement sleep latency (REML) as a biological marker of depression has previously and repeatedly been studied. The aim of this paper is to analyse the relationship between anhedonia and REML in moderately to severely depressed patients. The shortened Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-13) was chosen to assess depressive symptoms and, among them, more particularly, anhedonic symptoms. Two-way ANCOVA was used for statistical analyses. A significant association between anhedonic symptoms and REML was found when the number of sleep cycles (NCy) and the severity of depression were added as covariates. Our findings suggest that REML may be a useful variable to differentiate some diagnostic subtypes of depression related to anhedonia.

Psychiatry Res 2017; 258:387-395. [PMID: 28860016 DOI: 10.1016/j.psychres.2017.08.061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2017] [Revised: 08/22/2017] [Accepted: 08/23/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
In primary insomnia, specific dynamics of hyperarousal are evident during the night. Similarly, in major depression, many elements also favor of the presence of hyperarousal. Thus, it would be interesting to investigate if hyperarousal presents the same dynamic in major depression. Polysomnographic data from 30 healthy controls, 66 patients with major depression and prodromal insomnia, and 86 primary insomnia sufferers recruited from the sleep laboratory database were studied for whole night and thirds of the night. Insomnia sufferers and patients with depression exhibit a similar polysomnographic pattern both for whole night (increased sleep latency and WASO and reduced SWS and REM) and thirds of night (increased WASO at first and last thirds, reduced SWS in first third, and reduced in REM in first and last third). No alterations were detected during the second third of the night. Just as in primary insomnia, the hyperarousal phenomenon is found mainly in major depression with prodromal insomnia during the sleep-onset period and the first and last thirds of the night, but lesser during the second third of the night. These specific dynamics of hyperarousal may aid in the understanding of the particular relationship between insomnia and depression.

Hein M, Lanquart JP, Loas G, Hubain P, Linkowski P. Similar polysomnographic pattern in primary insomnia and major depression with objective insomnia: a sign of common pathophysiology? BMC Psychiatry 2017; 17:273.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our aim is to verify empirically the existence of a major depressed subgroup with a similar polysomnographic pattern as primary insomnia, including at rapid eye movement sleep level. METHODS The polysomnographic data from 209 untreated individuals (30 normative, 84 primary insomnia sufferers, and 95 major depressed patients with objective insomnia) who were recruited retrospectively from the Erasme hospital database were studied for the whole night and thirds of the night. RESULTS Primary insomnia sufferers and major depressed patients with objective insomnia exhibit a similar polysomnographic pattern both for the whole night (excess of wake after sleep onset, deficit in slow-wave sleep/rapid eye movement sleep, and non-shortened rapid eye movement latency) and thirds of the night (excess of wake after sleep onset at first and last third, deficit in slow-wave sleep in first third, and deficit in rapid eye movement sleep in first and last third), including at rapid eye movement sleep level. CONCLUSION In our study, we demonstrated that major depressed patients with objective insomnia showed a similar polysomnographic pattern as primary insomnia, including at rapid eye movement sleep level, which supports the hypothesis of a common pathophysiology that could be hyperarousal. This opens new avenues for understanding the pathophysiology of major depression with objective insomnia.

Abstract
Because some evidence favors the hyperarousal model of insomnia, we sought to learn more about the dynamics of this phenomenon during sleep. Polysomnographic data from 30 normative subjects and 86 untreated primary insomnia sufferers recruited from the database of the sleep laboratory were studied for whole nights and in terms of thirds of the night. Untreated primary insomnia sufferers had an increased sleep latency and excess of WASO, together with a deficit in REM and NREM sleep during the entire night. In terms of thirds of the night, they presented a major excess of WASO during the first and last thirds of the night but an excess of lesser importance during the middle third. A deficit in SWS was found during the first third of the night, but for REM, the deficit was present during both the first and last thirds. Primary insomnia sufferers had no SWS or REM deficit during the second third of the night. We found that the hyperarousal phenomenon occurs mainly during the sleep-onset period of the first and last thirds of the night and is less important during the middle third. These results open new avenues for understanding the pathophysiology of primary insomnia.

Abstract
Investigating sleep in mental disorders has the potential to reveal both disorder-specific and transdiagnostic psychophysiological mechanisms. This meta-analysis aimed at determining the polysomnographic (PSG) characteristics of several mental disorders. Relevant studies were searched through standard strategies. Controlled PSG studies evaluating sleep in affective, anxiety, eating, pervasive developmental, borderline and antisocial personality disorders, attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and schizophrenia were included. PSG variables of sleep continuity, depth, and architecture, as well as rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep were considered. Calculations were performed with the "Comprehensive Meta-Analysis" and "R" software. Using random effects modeling, for each disorder and each variable, a separate meta-analysis was conducted if at least 3 studies were available for calculation of effect sizes as standardized means (Hedges' g). Sources of variability, that is, sex, age, and mental disorders comorbidity, were evaluated in subgroup analyses. Sleep alterations were evidenced in all disorders, with the exception of ADHD and seasonal affective disorders. Sleep continuity problems were observed in most mental disorders. Sleep depth and REM pressure alterations were associated with affective, anxiety, autism and schizophrenia disorders. Comorbidity was associated with enhanced REM sleep pressure and more inhibition of sleep depth. No sleep parameter was exclusively altered in 1 condition; however, no 2 conditions shared the same PSG profile. Sleep continuity disturbances imply a transdiagnostic imbalance in the arousal system likely representing a basic dimension of mental health. Sleep depth and REM variables might play a key role in psychiatric comorbidity processes. Constellations of sleep alterations may define distinct disorders better than alterations in 1 single variable. (PsycINFO Database Record

Abstract
Previous studies in animals and humans have reported correlations between the durations of rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) episodes and immediately preceding or subsequent non-REMS (NREMS) episodes. The relationship between these two types of sleep is a crucial component in understanding the regulation and neurophysiology of ultradian alternations that occur during sleep. Although the present study replicated previous studies, we also measured NREMS in terms of spectral power Delta and Ultra-Slow bands in addition to duration in examining correlations. The spectral power Delta band, also known as slow-wave activity, measures sleep quantity and is believed to reflect sleep physiology better than mere episode durations. The Ultra-Slow spectral power band was analyzed in parallel. Healthy human participants of both sexes ( n = 26, age range 15–45 yr, n = 12 female) were carefully selected to participate in two consecutive series of home polysomnograms performed after 2 nights of habituation to the equipment. In the analyses, REMS episode durations (minutes) were compared with immediately preceding and immediately subsequent NREMS episodes (Delta and Ultra-Slow power) in each sleep cycle. REMS episode duration was more strongly correlated with preceding NREMS episodes than with subsequent NREMS episodes. However, in most cases, no correlations were observed in either direction. One ultradian sleep regulation hypothesis, which is based on stronger correlations between REMS and subsequent NREMS episode durations, holds that the main purpose of REMS is to reactivate NREMS during each sleep cycle. The present results do not support that hypothesis.

Abstract
Good news on chronobiological models of affective disorders are coming from a therapeutic innovation in the field of antidepressive action. Coming back to fundamentals by reconsidering the importance of the role of biological rhythms impairment in dysthymic pathology, a new interest bored on studies exploring short periodicities, so-called "ultradian" ones, on the basis of pharmacodynamics in the concept of therapeutic "window" of administration. The priority of circadian rhythms due to the major external biological desynchronization in depression, as well as the importance of sleep and alertness pathology, the spectacular relief of the depressive mood upon sleep deprivation, and the strong reduction of sleep need in mania, delayed exploration of ultradian exaltation of harmonic circadian components, marking a "buzz" of rhythmic structure and calling a "chronobiotic compound" which would be able to apply a "reset" to the temporal organisation. Another return to the origin leads to the experimental genomics, informing nor the "depressivity" but manic pathogenesis, in a mouse gene model which queries on the share of addictive and affective disorders.
