Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients with depression typically have reduced amounts of slow wave sleep (stage 3), rather than excessive amounts as stated in option D. This reduction in slow wave sleep is often accompanied by increased amounts of REM sleep, particularly in the first half of the sleep bout, as stated in option B. Option A is also true, as depressed patients often experience a rapid onset of REM sleep. Option C may or may not be true, as difficulty falling asleep can be a symptom of depression but is not specific to it.
