We have previously reported that older (24 mo.) Fischer rats manifest a diminished post-sleep deprivation increase in NREM and REM sleep. In order to examine whether this decline reflects an age-related change in pineal function, we are now reporting on baseline and recovery sleep parameters in pinealectomized 3-, 12-, and 24-month old rats following 24 hours of sleep deprivation using the disk-over-water method.
