Seven-hour sleep EEG recordings were obtained from rats (N = 15) given a single acute dose, and rats (N = 15) given 14 daily doses of zimelidine, 20 mg/kg IP. REM latency, REM sleep, number of REM episodes, and total sleep time were significantly affected by zimelidine administration when compared t

โฆ Synopsis
Cocaine in 6 mg/kg doses was administered orally and intraperitoneally to rats and sleep EEG's recorded. Cocaine significantly reduced total sleep time, slow-wave sleep, and sleep latency. Rapid eye movement sleep (REM) was significantly suppressed during the first half of the sleep recording. These effects were evident by both routes of administration. The effects of cocaine on total sleep time in animals parallels that observed in man.

Sleep disturbance is a common complaint in alcoholics. When polysomnographic studies are performed in alcoholics, reductions in slow wave sleep are a common finding; however, few studies have evaluated the effects of chronic alcohol exposure on sleep in animal models. In the present study, the sleep
