Document Summary
Restorative: time for rest, recuperation, repair effects of daily wear and tear, exact physiological process that is restored. 2017-09-06 4:02 pm: growth hormone release from pituitary gland at onset of n3 (increase cellular division, rna synthesis, rem protein synthesis, amount of rem increases after learning has taken place, and n3 in neocortex. Energy conservation: small animals sleep longer with shorter nrem-rem cycles, large animals sleep less, longer nrem-rem cycles. Mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates: closer to human = similar, all reptiles and birds exhibit n3, rem, but different species, length of sleep per nychthemeron (consecutive 24 hours) Birds, canine, reptiles: birds: less rem than mammals, except predator birds, owls, moles, opossums no eye movements, dogs, wolves, rabbits and birds rem paralysis, reptiles, tortoise & turtles high amplitude spikes during sleep. Sleep in see dwelling or migratory animals: cannot settle to sleep, bottlenose dolphins, porpoises, pigeons, mallard ducks, asynchronous brain sleeping or hold breath and sleep for 30 min.
