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
Sleep EEG (7 h) were obtained from 11 rats given 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg zimelidine, and a control dose of saline. Zimelidine significantly suppressed REM sleep, lengthened REM latency, and reduced total sleep time (TST) in a dosedependent manner. Sleep latency was not affected except at the highest dose of zimelidine. Slow-wave sleep (SWS) was not affected at any dose. The results are discussed in terms of their implication for the use of zimelidine in the clinical treatment of depression.

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
