Sleep in non-human animals → Sleep in animals – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. Fish567 (talk) 14:25, 3 October 2021 (UTC) Template:Vital article

A fact from Sleep in animals appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 January 2008, and was viewed approximately 1,565 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
|
This article contains a translation of Sömn hos djur from sv.wikipedia. |
Translation
Is this a translation from the swedish article? 213.115.186.132 (talk) 10:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, it started out that way anyway. We've changed a bit about the seals, to conform to the references given. (I fell in love with Nitramus' article, Sömn hos djur, but I'm not good enough in Swedish, so I recruited a translator here.)
- I see that the Swedish article has some new photos, some of which we should borrow. --Hordaland (talk) 13:55, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
sleep duration line makes no sense
In herbivores, an inverse correlation is apparent between body mass and sleep length; big animals sleep more than smaller ones.
Ok I'm not an expert here, but this makes no sense to me. Is it an inverse correlation or a positive one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.149.184.246 (talk) 12:18, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Merge suggestion
There is a merge suggestion on this page. It reads "It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into [[:|Sleep patterns#Sleep in non-humans]]. (Discuss) Proposed since June 2012." The "Discuss" isn't clickable, so I'll discuss here.
I think both articles are long enough as it is, and the division is logical.
--Hordaland (talk) 07:09, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
- I agree. In fact, in the hope of saving work for everybody, I've gone ahead and boldly removed the template. If anybody feels that a full discussion is necessary, please feel free to put the template back. Looie496 (talk) 02:34, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
I third. Frankly I think if anything human sleep should be separate, not nonhuman sleep, as humans only make up a tiny fraction of the animals that sleep. 72.251.19.136 (talk) 07:30, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Unihemispheric sleep
In the cat experiment, it is mentioned that the brain stem is cut into half. How can the brain stem be cut into half? I suppose it is the corpus callosum that is cut into half. Will someone check on the cat experiment?
Haaaa (talk) 09:13, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
- It doesn't exactly say "cut in half". It says "the connection between the left and the right halves of the brain stem has been severed...".
- The reference title in English is "Chronic split brain stem preparation: Effect on the sleep-waking cycle". The brain stem is split.
- Anyone wanting to check the reference, must be able to read French.

Shrews
I learnt that shrews have extremely little sleep, in the order of minutes rather than hours. Is this right? Shouldn't the article mention that? Steinbach (talk) 13:10, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
Article-Image Disagreement
The article says a jellyfish "is the most primitive organism in which sleep-like states have been observed." The image next to it says a nematode "is the most primitive organism in which sleep-like states have been observed." Which of these is more "primitive." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ambroginogiusti (talk • contribs) 18:49, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- If we translate "more primitive" as "evolutionarily more distant from vertebrates", then jellyfish are more primitive, as they are not bilaterians. If we are asking which species is more complex, I think that would be difficult. (The discovery of sleep in jellyfish is quite recent, by the way.) Looie496 (talk) 20:24, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
