Entrained npy Mutants Sleep Less in Constant Light Larvae were entrained in 14:10-hr LD cycles for the first 4 days and nights of development, and then behaviorally monitored for 24 hr in LD and then for 48 hr in LL. npy?/? animals were more active (A?C) and slept less (D?F) than their npy+/? and npy+/+ siblings during subjective day and night, due to fewer (G and H) and shorter (I and J) sleep bouts and longer wake bouts (K and L). Mean ± SEM from three experiments is shown. n, number of animals. ?p < 0.05; ??p < 0.01; ???p < 0.001; ????p < 0.0001 by one-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak test. See also Figure S3.
