Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • electroencephalogram pattern

    Qualitative analysis: identification of the deepest phase of sleep achieved during the examination, evaluation of background activity (normal, fast activity increased or slow activity increased). Quantitative analysis: density, duration, and amplitude of sleep spindles, spectral power and dominant frequence.

    twenty minutes

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Effective sedative

    twenty minutes

  • Adverse effects

    Two hours
