  • Title: REM sleep deprivation does not increase the sexual behaviors of male rats.
    Author: Hicks RA, Bautista J, Phillips N.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1991 Aug; 73(1):127-30. PubMed ID: 1945675.
    Abstract:
    Using several measures of sexual activity, 24 male and 30 female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a pretreatment test and 3 posttests (immediate and Recovery Days 4 and 7) following REM sleep deprivation in a water tank. With careful controls, sexual activity was not significantly affected by the sleep treatments. Data do not support motivational hypotheses.
