Homeostatic control of deep sleep in Drosophila: Implications for Discovering Correlates of Sleep Pressure

B. Chowdhury, L. Abhilash, A. Ortega, S. Liu, O. T. Shafer

This study introduces a new sleep deprivation paradigm in Drosophila that accounts for sleep-independent effects, revealing that deep sleep states are the primary target of homeostatic control and serotonin tracks sleep pressure.

A two-process model of Drosophila sleep reveals an inter-dependence between circadian clock speed and the rate of sleep pressure decay.

L. Abhilash, O. T. Shafer

This paper adapts the two-process model of sleep to Drosophila, showing that circadian clock speed and sleep pressure decay rates are interdependent and influence sleep patterns.
