Zusammenfassung:Polysomnography has been performed and heart rate variability has been studied during night sleep in healthy young subjects of both sexes. It has been shown that, on average, a shift in autonomic support towards parasympathicotonia occurs during sleep, with a maximum at stages III and IV of NREM sleep. At stag IIE of NREM sleep and during REM sleep, a short-term activation of the sympathetic nervous system comparable to wakefulness is observed.
