    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1970 Mar 14; 102(5):506-8. PubMed ID: 4314659.
    Abstract:
    A within-subject comparison of the effects on the overnight sleep EEG of 1 tablet of Mandrax (containing methaqualone base 250 mg. and diphenhydramine hydrochloride 25 mg.) and 200 mg. Tuinal (equal parts of quinalbarbitone sodium and amylobarbitone sodium) in 14 normal subjects is reported.Mandrax-induced sleep was not significantly different from natural sleep in the duration of light, moderate, deep and REM phases. Tuinal produced a significant reduction in REM sleep (P < 0.01) compared with natural sleep and with Mandrax-induced sleep.
