The authors briefly remind us of physiological characteristics of normal sleep and its modifications in psychiatric disorders. They draw attention to the numerous possibilities in the clinic of using electrophysiological sleep research. This is of importance in an area where few biological markers are available for the diagnosis and the treatment. Furthermore, sleep studies support the hypothesis of disturbances in circadian rhythms in affective disorders.
作者简要地向我们回顾了正常睡眠的生理特征及其在精神疾病中的改变。他们提请注意临床中使用睡眠电生理研究的众多可能性。在一个几乎没有生物标志物可用于诊断和治疗的领域，这一点很重要。此外，睡眠研究支持情感障碍中昼夜节律紊乱的假说。
