THE TYPES OF OBJECTIVE DISORDERS IN INSOM NIA

The most frequent polygraphic manifestations of insomnia were analysed in 39 neurotic patients with disorders of night sleep (NS). The frequ ency of pathological alterations of the objective characteristics of N S was determined after examination of the data obtained. Four types of sleep alterations were recognized. There was not always clear correla tion between the subjective estimation of sleep and its objective char acteristics. For choice of optimal therapeutic policy it was proposed to evaluate leading complaints of the patients for more accurate defin ition of the degree of expression of objective manifestations of insom nia without usage of NS polygraphy. Possible mechanisms of NS disorder s were determined. Classification of different types of objective diso rders of sleep in insomnia was elaborated.
