Sleep is essential for all organisms, and insufficient sleep can lead to a series of
negativeconsequences. Presently, anthropogenic disturbances such as noise and light …

Sleep is considered to be of crucial importance for performance and health, yet much of
what we know about sleep is based on studies in a few mammalian model species under …

Sleep maintains optimal brain functioning to facilitate behavioural flexibility while awake.
Owing to a historical bias towards research on mammals, we know comparatively little about …

Sleep is an important behavioural and physiological state that is ubiquitous throughout the
animal kingdom. Birds are an interesting group to study sleep since they share similar sleep …

Anthropogenic stressors, such as artificial light at night (ALAN), increasingly affect the sleep
behaviour and physiology of wild birds, particularly in areas where human activity is …

Sleep has a multitude of benefits and is generally considered necessary for optimal
performance. Disruption of sleep by extended photoperiods, moonlight and artificial light …

Birds provide opportunity to evaluate sleep in vertebrates with many physiological attributes
and systems similar or analogous to mammals. The main hypothesis of the research was …

We investigated the trade-off between sleep need and alertness, by challenging chickens to
modify their monocular sleep. We sleep deprived domestic chickens (Gallus domesticus) to …

Most of our knowledge about the regulation and function of sleep is based on studies in a
restricted number of mammalian species, particularly nocturnal rodents. Hence, there is still …

Light pollution or artificial light at night (ALAN) is an increasing anthropogenic environmental
pollutant posing an important potential threat for wildlife. Evidence of its effects on animal …
