The magnitude of recovery sleep following acute (i.e., 6-h) sleep deprivation was determined individually for wild-type and db/db mice. The amount of NREM and REM sleep (minutes), as well as NREM EEG delta (1–4 Hz) power (NDP) was calculated as a percentage change from respective baseline levels. The recovery period was divided into time blocks corresponding to the last 4 h of the light phase, the 12-h dark period, and the total 16-h recovery period. The magnitude of sleep recovery (percentage change from baseline (%) ± SE) was compared between genotypes at each respective time block (
P < 0.05,
P < 0.01). Sleep recovery time is consistently reduced in magnitude in db/db vs. wt mice.
