The authors report on the sleep activation of the EEG-recordings by Promazine a Phenothiazine derivative that can be used also in babies and in those elder children who does not tolerate sleep deprivation. The EEG-s are much less altered then by other related compounds or by Barbiturates. The greatest efficacy could be reached in generalized epilepsies, but the method was helpful in other epilepsy forms too. It is emphasized that in no case of acute neurological symptoms of not epileptic origin showed the Promazine induced sleep a convulsive activity.

All night sleep deprivation prior to an EEG registration causes some inconvenience not only to the organization of the EEG department but presents a burden on the patients as well as their family members, and for these reasons is not suitable to be frequently employed as a routine procedure. As an alternative, we performed short-term sleep recordings in the early afternoon following a partial sleep deprivation of the patients during the preceding night. This method was well accepted by the patients and their family.
