Sleep architecture, slow wave activity and sleep spindles in mild sleep disordered breathing

A high degree of sleep fragmentation by arousals related to respiratory events would result in an abnormal distribution of slow wave activity (SWA) and a decrease in sleep spindle density in sleep disordered breathing (SDB) patients when compared to controls.Eighteen mild SDB subjects (6 females and 12 males), aged 18-56 years with (5
