[HTML][HTML] The energy allocation function of sleep: a unifying theory of sleep, torpor, and continuous wakefulness
MH Schmidt - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2014 - Elsevier
The energy allocation (EA) model defines behavioral strategies that optimize the temporal
utilization of energy to maximize reproductive success. This model proposes that all species …

Energy conservation and sleep
RJ Berger, NH Phillips - Behavioural brain research, 1995 - Elsevier
Phylogenetic and ontogenetic associations between sleep and endothermy are consistent
with the hypothesis that sleep evolved in conjuction with endothermy to offset the high …

Sleep as an adaptation for energy conservation functionally related to hibernation and shallow torpor
JM Walker, RJ Berger - Progress in brain research, 1980 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary A vast amount of research on sleep has been generated during the past
two decades and much has been learned about its phenomenology and underlying …

Unraveling the evolutionary determinants of sleep
WJ Joiner - Current biology, 2016 - cell.com
Despite decades of intense study, the functions of sleep are still shrouded in mystery. The
difficulty in understanding these functions can be at least partly attributed to the varied …

The function (s) of sleep
Sleep is a highly conserved phenomenon in endotherms, and therefore it must serve at least
one basic function across this wide range of species. What that function is remains one of …

Phylogenetic analysis of the ecology and evolution of mammalian sleep
The amount of time asleep varies greatly in mammals, from 3 h in the donkey to 20 h in the
armadillo. Previous comparative studies have suggested several functional explanations for …

Sleep function: Toward elucidating an enigma
Sleep function remains controversial. Individual perspectives frame the issue of sleep
function differently. We briefly illustrate how sleep measurement and the evolution, tissue …

Exploring phylogeny to find the function of sleep
During sleep, animals do not eat, reproduce or forage. Sleeping animals are vulnerable to
predation. Yet, the persistence of sleep despite evolutionary pressures, and the deleterious …
