Respiration rate variability between REM- and NREM-sleep

Summary form only given. We describe the respiration rate variability (RRV) in sleep. The nasal respiration signal was analyzed for the difference of respiration rate between rapid eye movement (REM) and non rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Using a digital polysomnographic system which records patients biomedical signals with remote acceptability through the Internet, the nasal RRV could be analyzed in real time. The analyzed data show that there are some differences between them. These differences can be used for the analysis of the autonomic nervous system function during sleep.
