Summary

This study is a quasi-experimental between-group design. Using a prospective two-arm controlled exploratory study, data will be collected on an initial assessment of the effects of a specific neurological sample after thrombotic infarction (PCA infarction) who lost the ability to dream due to the infarction (experimental group) compared to a specific neurological sample after thrombotic infarction (PCA infarction) without loss of the ability to dream (comparison group) in terms of subjective and objective sleep quality and memory consolidation. Besides the importance to further elucidate the role of dreaming for sleep architecture and memory consolidation, the results of the evaluation are of great clinical relevance in a further scientific investigation regarding the treatment of a specifically neurological sample with acute thrombotic infarction.

Conditions

  • Dream Disorder
  • Thrombotic Infarction
  • PCA Infarct

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Polysomnographic examination in sleep laboratory (PSG measurement)

Recording of sleep quality and quantity by sleep parameters, such as total sleep time - TST; duration of sleep stages - S1t, S2t, S3t, rapid eye movement - REMt; sleep onset latency - SL; wake after sleep onset - WASO, sleep efficiency - SE.
