Abstract
Changes in sleep pattern are studied in young adults subjected to an acute inversion of sleep-waking cycles. A significant increase in waking and a decrease in REM sleep time occurred during the inverted sleep period, with disruption of the usual sequence and length of all sleep stages. The basic 90-100 minute cycling is the only factor unaltered during inversion of sleep-waking cycles.
