Sleep after Exercise

J. Allan Hobson 1

1 Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts

After moderate treadmill exercise, marked decreases in operant responding and in latency to onset of behavioral sleep occurs in cats. The sleep produced is characterized by enhancement of synchronized electroencephalographic activity with suppression of the desynchronized phase. The result is consistent with the theory that a function of synchronized sleep is to facilitate recovery from fatigue.
