Average daily percentages of wakefulness (W), NREM sleep, and REM sleep are reported for normal control rats, rats with SC-PT lesions, and rats with VC lesions exposed to three light/dark (LD) schedules: 12-h light/12-h dark (12/12); 12-h light/12-h dark with 5-min dark pulses occurring every 30 min during the 12-h light period (dark pulse); and 3-h light/3-h dark (3/3).
