This project investigates the phenomenon of sleep during active locomotion in birds, specifically focusing on graylag geese. It aims to determine if eye closure while paddling indicates sleep and how energy balance influences this behavior, potentially offering insights into sleepwalking in humans.
Although sleep has been found in most animals, our understanding of its function remains limited. A longstanding theory proposed that sleep has energy saving functions.
Thus, an individual is expected to engage in sleep more often when energy intake is much lower than its energy demand.
However, while facing such a negative energy balance, there might be some ecological contexts within which the need for sleep may conflict with the need for being awake.
To overcome this issue, some species can d…
