Abstract
Benzodiazepines (BDZs) drugs act on the GABAA receptor, function as nerve suppressors, and are used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and panic disorder. We analyzed the data of 30 individuals to determine any differences in the sleep-electroencephalogram findings among individuals varying in age, benzodiazepine use, and duration of benzodiazepine use. Comparisons between users and non-users of benzodiazepines, short-term and long-term users, older and younger users, and older short-term and older long-term users, were achieved using electroencephalographic findings obtained through polysomnography. The parameters evaluated included sleep latency, sleep efficiency, sleep-stage percentages, number of sleep spindles, and average frequency of sleep-spindle. The difference between benzodiazepine users and non-users was significant with respect to sleep-stage percentages and average frequency of sleep-spindle. Older and younger users differed significantly with respect to sleep efficiency and sleep-stage percentages, whereas significant difference for sleep efficiency was obtained between long-term and short-term users. Taken together, our results indicate that BDZ consumption suppresses slow-wave sleep and increases the frequency of sleep spindles.
