Abstract
The “Infant sleep profile” represents a normalized graphic portrayal of an individual subject's sleep period By visually coding the multiple physiologic measures recorded polygraphically during sleep, each 30 sees, and processing the codes through several computer sub-routines, an enormous amount of data is reduced and analyzed. Four distinct, yet interdependent dimensions of sleep are defined: sleep/wake proportions, organization/disorganization of sleep states, periodicities of sleep/wake states and events; and, transition sequences of sleep/wake states. These disparate dimensions are compared with each other and between infants in order to maximize the information available from infant sleep states. Hopefully, the Infant Sleep Profile represents a prototype of a clinically relevant, neurodiagnostic indicator of central nervous system integrity in the newborn infant.
