Sleep is not disrupted in sesb^9Ed-4/+ flies. (A) Sleep in sesb^9Ed-4/+ flies falls within the range typically seen for wild-type flies (n = 14–16 flies/ group). (B) Neither elav;Dcr2/+ > sesB^RNAi#1/+ nor elav;UAS-Dcr2/+ > sesB^RNAi#2/+ (black open markers) displayed alterations in sleep that differed in the same direction from both of their respective parental controls elav;UAS-Dcr2/+, sesB^RNAi#1/+, and sesB^RNAi#2/+ (n = 32 flies/group). (C) No change in sleep consolidation during the day was observed for either sesb^9Ed-4/+ mutants or following RNAi mediated knockdown of sesB. (D) Disrupting sesB did not alter sleep consolidation during the night.
