A healthy young woman with regular menstrual cycles and no premenstrual complaints spent 2 consecutive nights in the laboratory at follicular and mid-luteal phases of her cycle. Few differences were noted in sleep parameters with the exception of rapid eye movement (REM) latency, which decreased from 62.5 +/- 0 minutes in the follicular phase to 4.0 +/- 0 minutes in the mid-luteal phase of her cycle, accompanied by an increase in percentage of REM sleep. Very little slow-wave sleep was observed in either phase of the menstrual cycle. The subject refused further study for evaluation of narcolepsy, although she reported no daytime sleepiness. If replicated, these findings suggest phase of the menstrual cycle may primarily influence REM sleep characteristics.
一名月经周期规律且无经前不适的健康年轻女性，在其月经周期的卵泡期和黄体中期于实验室连续住了两个晚上。除快速眼动（REM）潜伏期外，睡眠参数几乎没有差异，REM潜伏期从月经周期卵泡期的62.5±0分钟降至黄体中期的4.0±0分钟，同时REM睡眠百分比增加。在月经周期的两个阶段均观察到很少的慢波睡眠。尽管该受试者报告无日间嗜睡，但她拒绝了进一步的发作性睡病评估研究。如果这些发现得到重复验证，表明月经周期阶段可能主要影响REM睡眠特征。
