A deep sleep stage in Drosophila with a functional role in waste clearance – Science Advances
Sleep is a highly conserved state, suggesting that sleep’s benefits outweigh the increased vulnerability it brings. Yet, little is known about how sleep fulfills…
INTRODUCTION
Across the animal kingdom, sleep deprivation impairs learning, memory (1), and immune function (2) and delays wound healing (3), but a good nights sleep can reverse these impairments. One of the great mysteries of sleep is how it fulfills these restorative functions and to what extent these mechanisms are conserved among the wide range of animals in which sleep has been identified and analyzed. We propose that those functions that are conserved represent the primordial functions of…
