Abstract

METHODS THE ING STATE produces a decrease in both minute tidal volume (1, 4, 9, 26). In addition, measures of the chemical control of respiration (hypoxic hypercapnic ventilatory responses) are also reduced compared with wakefulness (2,3,7,8). Why this occurs is the subject of considerable speculation may well be multifactorial. could decrease in ing individuals simply as a product of falling metabolic rate (6, 37), but this is not the entire answer inasmuch as PCO~ levels increase (1, 8, 13), indicating a larger decrease in alveolar than CO2 production. Some would argue that this is likely to be a product of decreasing central nervous system sensitivity to the normal stimuli that maintain (e.g., hypoxia, hypercapnia, CO, production).
