“…NREM sleep is characterized by postural and motor quiescence, functional prevalence of the parasympathetic over the sympathetic activity, lowering of metabolic heat production (decrease in muscle tone and heart and breathing rates) and brain and body temperatures (vasodilation of heat exchangers, sweating) [28,29]. Thus, a moderately warm ambient temperature or a slight increase in core temperature promotes sleep: in this case, the onset of sleep is a synergic concomitant of thermoregulation in adaptation to the positive thermal load [12]. Since sleep may also occur under adverse ambient conditions, the sleep-promoting role of thermoregulatory mechanisms is only facultative in wakefulness, and its functional importance is inversely related to the degree of sleep pressure.…”

“…Since sleep may also occur under adverse ambient conditions, the sleep-promoting role of thermoregulatory mechanisms is only facultative in wakefulness, and its functional importance is inversely related to the degree of sleep pressure. During NREM sleep, thermoregulatory mechanisms are involved in the control of REM sleep occurrence according to the actual thermal load [12]. On the other hand, in the poikilothermic condition of REM sleep, the temperature signal as a biological stimulus affecting both thermoregulation and sleep becomes temporarily subliminal.…”

“…Cooling increases waking time [19], and warming promotes both NREM and REM sleep [12,19,[22][23][24][25][26]. At this point, it is sufficient to note that the thermoregulatory activity elicited by cooling is opposite of the thermolytic adjustments induced by NREM sleep processes.…”

“…The structure of the wake-sleep cycle at ambient temperature within thermoneutrality is conventionally considered as the normal reference [12]. Thermoneutrality, which varies in the different species [13], is defined as the range of ambient temperatures within which the metabolic rate decreases to the minimum at rest and temperature regulation is implemented by physical mechanisms alone.…”

“…Our pilot study sought to better define the effects of preinjury SD on recovery in an animal model of TBI. Animal models of SD have demonstrated altered glucose metabolism [14], increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production [15], abnormal neuronal excitability [16][17], and altered thermoregulation [18], all of which theoretically could be associated with increased pathology and behavioral deficits following TBI. Changes in glucose metabolism could increase tissue pH and place greater oxidative stress on the injured brain [19].…”

Abstract-The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of combat-associated conditions such as sleep deprivation (SD) on subsequent traumatic brain injury (TBI). Prior to TBI (or sham surgery) induced by controlled cortical impact (CCI), rats were housed singly in chambers that prevented rapid eye movement sleep or allowed unrestricted sleep (no SD). Sensorimotor function was tested pre-SD and retested on postoperative days (PDs) 4, 7, and 14. Two additional control groups were housed socially prior to either CCI or sham surgery. CCI resulted in immediate performance deficits on sensorimotor tasks. The PD on which performance returned to baseline depended on preinjury conditions. Overall, preinjury SD+CCI resulted in an earlier recovery than no SD+CCI, and the no SD+CCI group (housed singly under conditions comparable with the SD group) recovered slower than all other groups. These data are the first to raise the possibility that recovery of sensorimotor function following TBI is affected by preinjury conditions. The data suggest that preinjury SD 24 h in duration may result in faster recovery and that novel or social isolation conditions may impede recovery. Thus, the combat environment may contribute to complexities associated with TBIs common in U.S. servicemembers.

Sleep is a universal behavior in vertebrate and invertebrate animals, suggesting it originated in the very first life forms. Given the vital function of sleep, sleeping patterns and sleep architecture follow dynamic and adaptive processes reflecting trade-offs to different selective pressures. Here, we review responses in sleep and sleep-related behavior to environmental constraints across primate species, focusing on the role of great ape nest building in hominid evolution. We summarize and synthesize major hypotheses explaining the proximate and ultimate functions of great ape nest building across all species and subspecies; we draw on 46 original studies published between 2000 and 2017. In addition, we integrate the most recent data brought together by researchers from a complementary range of disciplines in the frame of the symposium "Burning the midnight oil" held at the 26th Congress of the International Primatological Society, Chicago, August 2016, as well as some additional contributors, each of which is included as a "stand-alone" article in this "Primate Sleep" symposium set. In doing so, we present crucial factors to be considered in describing scenarios of human sleep evolution: (a) the implications of nest construction for sleep quality and cognition; (b) the tree-to-ground transition in early hominids; (c) the peculiarities of human sleep. We propose bridging disciplines such as neurobiology, endocrinology, medicine, and evolutionary ecology, so that future research may disentangle the major functions of sleep in human and nonhuman primates, namely its role in energy allocation, health, and cognition.
