Journal ArticleDOI
The Sleep of Abstinent Pure Primary Alcoholic Patients: Natural Course and Relationship to Relapse
TL;DR: The sleep of abstinent alcoholic patients is short, fragmented, and shallow early in abstinence, and a patient's sleep improves slowly over at least the first year of abstinence; however, some facets of a patients' sleep remain abnormal even after 27 months of abstinence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid and sustained antidepressant response with sleep deprivation and chronotherapy in bipolar disorder.
Joseph C. Wu,John R. Kelsoe,Carol Schachat,Blynn G. Bunney,Anna DeModena,Shahrokh Golshan,J. Christian Gillin,Steven G. Potkin,William E. Bunney +8 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to demonstrate the benefit of adding three noninvasive circadian-related interventions to SD in medicated patients to accelerate and sustain antidepressant responses and provides a strategy for the safe, fast-acting, and sustainable treatment of BPD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Pressure for Rapid Eye Movement Sleep at Time of Hospital Admission Predicts Relapse in Nondepressed Patients With Primary Alcoholism at 3-Month Follow-up
J. Christian Gillin,Tom L. Smith,Michael R. Irwin,Nelson Butters,Anna DeModena,Marc A. Schuckit +5 more
TL;DR: Abstinence and relapse were not consistently related to other clinical measures at the time of hospital admission such as age, duration and severity of alcoholism, marital status, employment, hepatic enzyme levels, cognitive performance, or depression ratings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased REM Sleep Density at Admission Predicts Relapse by Three Months in Primary Alcoholics with a Lifetime Diagnosis of Secondary Depression
Camellia P. Clark,J. Christian Gillin,Shahrokh Golshan,Anna DeModena,Tom L. Smith,Sarah Danowski,Michael R. Irwin,Marc A. Schuckit +7 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that increased REM density and decreased total sleep time at about 2-4 weeks of abstinence predict relapse by 3 months in depressed alcoholics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polysomnographic and spectral sleep EEG in primary alcoholics: an interaction between alcohol dependence and African-American ethnicity.
TL;DR: African-American alcoholic patients showed more severe sleep abnormalities than Euro-American alcoholics, and the interaction between alcohol dependence and ethnicity uniquely contributed to prolonged sleep latency, loss of delta sleep, and short rapid eye movement (REM) latency.
