Sleep homeostasis in binge alcohol-induced sleep disruptions. All 4 animals displayed an increase in AD in the BF during 4 h of binge alcohol consumption (Panel A) coupled with a significant increase in NREM sleep during the active period, immediately after the completion of 4 h of binge drinking. However, during the subsequent 12 h of the light (sleep) period, NREM sleep was significantly reduced, especially during the last 9 h of the light period. No change was observed during the first 3 h of the light period, suggesting that Process C, regulating the timing of sleep, remained unaffected (Panel B).
