Sleep complaints are common in depression. The goal of this investigation was to check relationships between sleep estimation and the values of behavioral attitudes.
Subjects
44 patients with major depression.
Methods:
21-items Hamilton Rating Scale for depression. BASE Test for the estimation of behavioral attitudes. Sleep questionnaire.
Results:
1. In patients satisfied with night sleep stereotyped behavior (St) was higher than in patients not satisfied with their sleep (3.16 vs. 0.6, p=0.03). 2. Patients with the negative values of search activity (SA) and/or St and positive values of passive behavior (Pa) are more often dissatisfied with their sleep than the opposite group. 3. In patients who report the increase of dreams after the positive emotional experience St is higher than in patients who do not report it (2.62 vs. –0.16, p=0.02). 4. In patients who like to see dreams in comparison to those who do not like it SA is higher, Pa is lower, while Hamilton Rating Scale is also lower.
Conclusion:
The configuration of behavioral attitudes is more important for subjective sleep estimation than the level of depression.
