16. Slow-wave activity is represented by the spectral power density in the 0.75-4.5 Hz range; see B. A. Geering et al., "Period-Amplitude Analysis and Power Spectral Analysis: A Comparison Based on All-Night Sleep EEG Recordings," Journal of Sleep Research 2 (1993): 121-129.
17. Homeostasis has been defined as "the coordinated physiological processes which maintain most of the steady states in the organism." W. B. Cannon, The Wisdom of the Body (New York: Norton, 1939). The term "sleep homeostasis" refers to the sleep-wake dependent aspect of sleep regulation.

Thus homeostatic mechanisms counteract deviations of sleep from an average "reference level" by augmenting sleep propensity when sleep is curtailed or absent, and reducing sleep propensity in response to excess sleep.

33. The term REM sleep homeostasis is used to denote the rebound of REM sleep after deprivation. However, in contrast to non-REM sleep there is no evidence that excessive REM sleep is compensated by a subsequent reduction.

35. Depressed patients undergoing a combined treatment with an antidepressant drug and sleep deprivation showed a progressive decline of slow-wave activity, which due to the suppression of REM sleep was little interrupted (Van den Hoofdakker and Beersma, unpublished data). The data could be simulated by leaving the REM sleep process in its inactive state. See P. Achermann and A. A.
