Treating ovariectomized rats with physiological levels of estradiol and/or progesterone affects aspects of both baseline (24 h) sleep and recovery (18 h) sleep after 6 h of sleep deprivation. We have extended the analysis of these effects by examining several additional parameters of sleep architecture using the same data set as in our previous study (Deurveilher et al. SLEEP 2009;32(7):865-877).
