Abstract :
According to recent studies, it has been reported that Cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) method has high sensitivity to the changes in sleep structures and high correlations with daytime mood and psychophysiological functions in insomnia patients. Polysomnography technique has been demanded for developing novel hypnotics besides checking safety in clinical trials. Therefore, it is considered as one of the most appropriate PSG analysis method to evaluate hypnotics and the other sleep promoting drugs.
