They further observed that in a comparison of fluctuations from one EEG level to another in sleep records of patients versus normal control subjects, fluctuations were more frequent for patients. It is, therefore, conceivable that depressed patients, because of their lighter sleep patterns, are more susceptible to auditory stimulation. In a previous publication, we reported the pattern of EEG responses to auditory stimulation during sleep of a group of normal control subjects, at the various stages of sleep.² Responses to auditory stimulation by normal . . .
