>Recently, work on GABA agonists indicates that they increase stage 3-4 sleep. This has been demonstrated via sleep-stage scoring as well as with spectral analysis. Further, this increase in stage 3-4 sleep is associated with a decrease in stage 1 sleep and arousals from sleep. Thus, the GABA agonists may not simply promote sleep, but consolidate it as well.
Is this Ambien/zopiclone/zolpidem(?) they're talking about here?
