State-dependent metabolic partitioning and energy conservation: A theoretical framework for understanding the function of sleep

Metabolic rate reduction has been considered the mechanism by which sleep conserves energy, similar to torpor or hibernation. This mechanism of energy savings is in conflict with the known upregulation (compared to wake) of diverse functions during sleep and neglects a potential role in energy conse...
