[Comments on sleep in Korsakoff's syndrome]. / Quelques remarques à propos du sommeil dans le syndrome de Korsakoff.

Twenty recordings of night sleep were made on ten patients with Korsakoff's syndrome. A large increase in time spent awake and in stage I sleep is reported as well as confused sleep cycles, increased ocular density in case of confabulation and dream accounts recalling mental activity from the previous day. Hippocampomamillary dysfunction appears to be responsible for disturbances in the cycles.
