This study investigates different time points of sleep deprivation and recovery sleep to better understand the molecular processes influenced by sleep and lack of sleep. This study highlights redox metabolism, chromatin regulation, and DNA damage/repair as molecular mechanisms linked to sleep homeostasis while showing the effects of stress are probably non-sleep-specific based on transcriptional dynamics.
