The pattern of swallowing during sleep was investigated by means of a study in 10 normal subjects. Sleep was staged by means of EEG, EOG and EMG, and swallowing was monitored by means of an external sensing device attached to the neck. It was found that during sleep, swallowing is episodic, with long swallow-free periods. Swallows occur almost exculusively in association with movement arousals which are most frequent during Stages REM, 1 and 2 of sleep.
通过对10名正常受试者的研究，对睡眠期间的吞咽模式进行了调查。通过脑电图、眼电图和肌电图对睡眠进行分期，并通过连接在颈部的外部传感装置监测吞咽情况。研究发现，在睡眠期间，吞咽是间歇性的，有很长的无吞咽期。吞咽几乎完全与运动觉醒相关，而运动觉醒在快速眼动睡眠期、睡眠1期和2期最为频繁。
