and a comment can be typed. At the end, the report can be printed or saved. For more
information, see help on the HypnoLab built-in Report Editor.

Cyclic Alternating Pattern
This report displays a series of parameters obtained from the different Cyclic
Alternating Pattern (CAP) components analysis
The top graph shows the hypnogram in a standard representation with the following sleep
stages, in descending order: Wakefulness (green), REM sleep (red), and sleep stages 1, 2,
3 and 4 (black thin line). Movement epochs (MT) are shown as blue short segments at a
level between Wakefulness and REM sleep. Each CAP subtype is plotted as a short red
(A1), green (A2), or blue (A3) line overimposed to the hypnogram.
Time Distribution Histogram of CAP
The second graph shows the distribution histogram of the number of CAP-A1 subtypes
per 5-minute epoch, throughout the entire recording (white columns); also the number of
the CAP A2+A3 subtypes is shown in the same epochs (black columns). The scale of this
graph is shown on the left.
