Sonno negli animali

Il sonno negli animali non umani si riferisce ad uno stato comportamentale e fisiologico caratterizzato da incoscienza reversibile, ridotta reattività agli stimoli esterni e regolazione omeostatica. Il sonno sembra essere un requisito per tutti i mammiferi e per la maggior parte degli altri animali; a titolo esemplificativo, dei ratti privati dal sonno muoiono entro un paio di settimane.^[1]
