Mammalian NREM and REM sleep: Why, when and how
2023, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsMotivational Processes in the Regulation of Sleep/Wake States
2019, Handbook of Behavioral NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Although the term motivation has traditionally been used to describe the drive to engage in wake-related behaviors, there seems to be a motivation to sleep that could depend on distinct neuronal circuits and behavioral repertoires that differ from wake motivations, with the ultimate goal of attaining sleep (Eban-Rothschild, Giardino, & de Lecea, 2017; Moruzzi, 1969). Animals do not just fall asleep, but rather prepare themselves for sleep and display species-specific behaviors in order to do so (Hediger, 1969; Meddis, 1975; Parmeggiani, 1980). Lizards (Singhal, Johnson, & Ladner, 2007), birds, rodents (Latham & Mason, 2004), great apes (Anderson, 1998; Stewart, 2011), humans, and even fish (Winn, 1955), among many others, search for a safe and comfortable place to sleep; may build a nest or a bed; take a species-specific posture; and engage in other behaviors, such as grooming, eating, and drinking before going to sleep.

2016, Trends in Ecology and EvolutionCitation Excerpt :Likewise, consideration of ecological factors can offer an understanding of the selective pressures influencing the evolutionary convergence and divergence of sleep traits. Sleep research was historically rich in ecological and evolutionary considerations ([12] reviewed in [13]), which provided some of the biggest leaps in our understanding of the sleeping brain. One of the biggest paradigm shifts in sleep research came about from comparative studies of aquatic mammals.
