Previous reports on inter‐night reliability of sleep stage percentages have not controlled for total sleep time (TST). With TST held constant with either of two methods, REM as well as NREM variables showed significant inter‐night correlation coefficients. Reliability across nights for rapid eye movement activity is reported here for the first time and found to be highly significant.
