TLDR
There was little, if any, habituation of the OR during sleep, and the presence of a stimulus-evoked K complex was associated with increased responsiveness in all autonomic variables, but presence of eye movement bursts wasassociated with decreased cardiovascular response to the tone.

The nature of arousal in sleep.

TL;DR: Understanding the role of arousals and CAP and the relationship between physiologic and pathologic MA can shed light on the adaptive properties of the sleeping brain and provide insight into the pathomechanisms of sleep disturbances.

The effect of sleep fragmentation on daytime function

TL;DR: One night of sleep fragmentation makes normal subjects sleepier during the day, impairs their subjective assessment of mood, and decreases mental flexibility and sustained attention.

Sleep Fragmentation Indices as Predictors of Daytime Sleepiness and nCPAP Response in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

TL;DR: The results suggest that sleep fragmentation indices are useful for identifying OSA patients with sleepiness likely to respond to nCPAP.

Cyclic variations in EEG during sleep and their relation to eye movements, body motility, and dreaming.

TL;DR: Records from a large number of nights in single individuals indicated that some could maintain a very striking regularity in their sleep pattern from night to night, and that body movement, after rising to a peak, dropped sharply at the onset of rapid eye movements and rebounded abruptly as the eye movements ceased.

Evoked responses to clicks and electroencephalographic stages of sleep in man.

TL;DR: The results provide additional evidence that the emergent low-voltage stage is a neurophysiologically unique phase.
