摘要
Sleep, circadian torPor, and hibernation constitute an electrophysiological continuum. When energy reserves decline, energy can be conserved by increasing the duration of sleep or by lowering sleeping body temperature proportionally to remaining reserves. Sleep in pigeons is controlled by light-dark cycles through their transduction to internal melatonin rhythms.
