Effect of geraniol (100 mg/kg) and diazepam (5 mg/kg) in rats in relation to (A) latency and (B) barbiturate-induced sleeping time (60 mg/kg). One way ANOVA followed by Fisher's LSD test for multiple comparisons (*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared with control group). Data expressed as mean ± SEM. Abbreviations: SLN: saline; DZP: diazepam; GER: geraniol. Experimental groups: SLN (n = 12), DZP 5.0 mg/kg (n = 14), geraniol 100 mg/kg (n = 12).
