... it would seem that searching for a core function of sleep, particularly at the cellular level, remains a worthwhile exercise
Interestingly, the independent evolution of similar sleep states in birds and mammals might be related to the fact that each group also independently evolved large brains capable of performing complex cognitive processes.
Sleep deprivation of over 7 days with the disk-over-water system results in the development of ulcerative skin lesions, hyperphagia, loss of body mass, hypothermia, and eventually sepsis and death in rats (Everson, 1995; Rechtschaffen et al., 1983).
