Wicket spikes correspond to a normal variant activity. They usually occur in adults over 50 years of age during drowsiness and light nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. No data exist in the precise distribution of this activity during all the different sleep stages, particularly during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. The authors report five observations of persistence of this activity during REM sleep. Only one patient was over 50 years of age. The authors found a predominant expression on one temporal side, but inconsistently on the left side (three on the left side versus two on the right side). Wicket spikes always persist in REM sleep. They have an identical morphology as drowsiness or stage 2 sleep. There were no changes in their location. The authors found no correlation with the tonic or phasic phases of REM sleep.
棘波对应于一种正常变异活动。它们通常出现在50岁以上的成年人困倦和浅非快速眼动（NREM）睡眠期间。目前尚无关于这种活动在所有不同睡眠阶段，特别是快速眼动（REM）睡眠期间精确分布的数据。作者报告了5例在REM睡眠期间这种活动持续存在的观察结果。只有1例患者年龄超过50岁。作者发现这种活动主要出现在一侧颞叶，但在左侧并不一致（左侧3例，右侧2例）。棘波在REM睡眠中总是持续存在。它们的形态与困倦或2期睡眠时相同。其位置没有变化。作者发现它们与REM睡眠的紧张性或相位性阶段没有相关性。
