Secobarbital and nocturnal physiological patterns.
TL;DR: It appears that secobarbital potentiates tonic and suppresses phasic phenomena during sleep, which enhances electrical activity in forebrain structures (Routtenberg's arousal system II) while inhibiting the reticular activating system (arousal system I) causing a reduction ofphasic variability in all stages of sleep.
