Decreased delta sleep ratio and elevated alpha power predict vulnerability to depression during interferon-alpha treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: Both high DSR and low alpha power may be specific indices of resilience. As most other aspects of sleep were not associated with resilience or vulnerability, sleep interventions to prevent depression may need to specifically target these specific sleep parameters.
