Avian Sleep Homeostasis: Electrophysiological, Molecular and Evolutionary Approaches
TLDR
The first experimental evidence for a mammalian-like increase in SWS following enforced wakefulness in birds is provided, and whether local increases in SWA in birds are mediated by similar molecular mechanisms to those of mammals is investigated.
Sleep and sleep states: phylogeny and ontogeny
Evolution of Sleep and Adaptive Sleeplessness
Sleeping outside the box: electroencephalographic measures of sleep in sloths inhabiting a rainforest
TLDR
The first electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings of sleep on unrestricted animals in the wild using a recently developed miniaturized EEG recorder are performed, and it is found that brown-throated three-toed sloths inhabiting the canopy of a tropical rainforest only sleep 9.63 h d−1, over 6 H less than previously reported in captivity.
Sleep as spatiotemporal integration of biological processes that evolved to periodically reinforce neurodynamic and metabolic homeostasis: The 2m3d paradigm of sleep
Sleep: Evolutionary and Adaptive Changes in Birds and Mammals
TLDR
This chapter discusses the sleeping patterns, sleep strategies, and sleep consolidations across phylogeny and aging, which are essential for the current challenges in their society, where the authors experience poor sleep quality and insufficient sleep and they wake up tired almost every day.
Sleep in amphibians and reptiles: a review and a preliminary analysis of evolutionary patterns
TLDR
This review uses the existing data to provide a preliminary analysis of the evolution of behavioural and electrophysiological features of sleep in amphibians and reptiles and highlights the importance of developing comparative approaches to sleep research that may benefit from the great diversity of species with different ecologies and morphologies in order to understand the evolution and functions of sleep.

A phylogenetic analysis of the correlates of sleep in birds
TLDR
The first quantitative analysis of sleep in a non‐mammalian taxon (birds) focusing on the daily amount of time spent in slow‐wave sleep (SWS) and rapid‐eye movement (REM) sleep as determined by electrophysiological methods suggests that further insight into the function of sleep across the animal kingdom may require an expansion of sleep research beyond the current mammalian paradigm.
A Phylogenetic Analysis of Sleep Architecture in Mammals: The Integration of Anatomy, Physiology, and Ecology
TLDR
It is found that species with higher relative BMRs engage in less SWS, whereas species with larger relative brain masses engage in more REM sleep, and REM sleep was the only sleep variable strongly influenced by predation risk.
A quantitative, theoretical framework for understanding mammalian sleep
TLDR
A general, quantitative theory for mammalian sleep that relates many of its fundamental parameters to metabolic rate and body size is developed and leads to predictions for sleep time, sleep cycle time, and rapid eye movement time as functions of body and brain mass.
Sleep in Mammals : Ecological and Constitutional Correlates
TLDR
The interrelationships between sleep, ecological, and constitutional variables were assessed statistically for 39 mammalian species and found that both constitutional and ecological influences are important predictors of the amount and type of sleep obtained by mammals.

Clues to the functions of mammalian sleep
The functions of mammalian sleep remain unclear. Most theories suggest a role for non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in energy conservation and in nervous system recuperation. Theories of REM sleep…
NORMAL SLEEP PATTERNS IN MACAQUE MONKEY.
TLDR
A more complete definition of the normal sleep pattern of the monkey Macaca nemestrina is attempted and the electrical activity of the cortex and various deep brain structures during sleep is investigated by means of the electroencephalogram and the averaged evoked response to a sound stimulus.

TLDR
Findings show that the SCN influence the regulation of daily total wake and sleep times, and implicate an alternative sleep-wake regulatory model in which an SCN-dependent process actively facilitates the initiation and maintenance of wakefulness and opposes homeostatic sleep tendency during the subjective day in diurnal primates.
