In order to explore the possible sites at which benzodiazepines alter sleep, we have performed sleep studies following administration of 0.5 microgram of triazolam into the dorsal raphe nucleus of rats. Triazolam significantly increased sleep latency and decreased non-rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, with an effect greatest in the first 2 hours after injection. Total REM sleep time was not significantly affected, although there was a modest trend toward reduction in the first 2 hours. In contrast to the decreased sleep resulting from injection into the dorsal raphe nucleus, triazolam did not significantly alter sleep in animals in whom it was injected into surrounding areas. Similarly, the low dose employed in this study did not significantly affect sleep when injected into the lateral ventricle. These data are reminiscent of studies showing transient decreases in sleep following lesions of the dorsal raphe nucleus.
