N |
• under constant darkness, mice exhibit normal circadian period
|
• prolonged sleep time and shorter daily wake times, more so than in heterozygotes
• mice exhibit prominent wake responses to cage change, caffeine or modafinil
|
• increased non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) time in both the light and dark phases, more so than in heterozygotes
• higher NREMS to total sleep ratio than in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit increased non-rapid eye movement sleep delta (slow-wave activity) density compared with wild-type mice
|
• lower rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) to total sleep ratio compared with wild-type mice
• longer time spent in REMS during the dark phase secondary to increased sleep amount and shorter REMS time during the light phase
