Six subjects spent three consecutive nights in the sleep laboratory. Activation phases (PATs), spontaneous K-complexes, and sleep spindles were visually detected in sleep stages 2 and 3 for nights 2 and 3. The K-complex rate was significantly greater in the 10 sec prior to the PATs than at any other time spent in stage 2 or 3. K-complexes associated with sheep spindles occurred significantly less frequently during the epochs just preceding the PATs. In all subjects, there was a sharp increase of sleep spindles associated with K-complexes when PATs did not follow within 10 sec. These results suggest that spontaneous K-complexes and sleep spindles act antagonistically with respect to the occurrence of PATs. These two phasic events are significantly related to regulating the probability of occurrence of PATs in sleep stages 2 and 3; K-complexes may reflect an organismic state leading towards PAT, whereas sleep spindles may inhibit the occurrence of PAT.
