TL;DR
It is demonstrated in the Djungarian hamster that EEG slow-wave activity (EEG power density in the 0.75-4-Hz range), which is increased after SD, is enhanced in a similar way after an episode of daily torpor, supporting the hypothesis that daily torpora is incompatible with the restorative function of sleep.
Abstract
Sleep, daily torpor and hibernation are considered to be homologous processes. However, during periodic arousals from hibernation, ground squirrels spent most of the euthermic period in non-REM sleep. Therefore, it has been proposed that animals arouse regularly from hibernation to recover from a sleep deprivation (SD) incurred during hibernation. We demonstrate in the Djungarian hamster that EEG slow-wave activity (EEG power density in the 0.75-4-Hz range), which is increased after SD, is enhanced in a similar way after an episode of daily torpor. The results support the hypothesis that daily torpor is incompatible with the restorative function of sleep.

The model shows that the experimental data are consistent with the concept of a single circadian pacemaker in humans, which has implications for the understanding of sleep as a restorative process and its timing with respect to day and night.

The present findings support the hypothesis that the EEG power density in the low frequency range is an indicator of a progressively declining process during sleep whose initial value is determined by the duration of prior waking.

Hibernating arctic ground squirrels were able to adopt and spontaneously arouse from core body temperatures as low as -2.9 degrees C without freezing and plasma sampled from animals with below 0 degree C body temperatures had normal solute concentrations and showed no evidence of containing antifreeze molecules.

This study shows that the degree of metabolic suppression during hypothermia can alternatively be explained by active downregulation of metabolic rate and thermoregulatory control of heat production.

It is reported that arctic ground squirrels consistently sleep during these arousals to euthermy, and their EEG shows the decrease in slow wave activity (delta power) that is characteristic of a declining requirement for sleep.

It was concluded that the entrance into hibernation represents an extension of the thermoregulatory adjustments that occur during SWS.

It is proposed that sleep constitutes another, albeit less well recognized, variation on the theme of mammalian dormancy—that is functionally related to hibernation and torpor, and it is suggested that they are functionally homologous processes.
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative PhysiologyAre ground squirrels sleep deprived during hibernation?
123 Citations1991L. Trachsel, Dale M. Edgar +1 more
It is hypothesized that low body temperatures during hibernation are incompatible with the restorative function of sleep as reflected in cortical slow-wave activity and animals must incur the energetic costs of periodic arousals from hibernation to receive the restrative benefits of euthermic slow- wave sleep.

The results were consistent with the notion that delta activity is an indicator of depth within NREM sleep, and Epochs with high delta power had increased arousal threshold relative to epochs with low arousal threshold.

The sleep-wake pattern, EEG spectrum, and time course of TCRT in the Djungarian hamster are similar to other nocturnal rodents, and the time Course of SWA seems to reflect a homeostatically regulated process as was formulated in the two-process model of sleep regulation.

Estivation (shallow torpor) in the round-tailed ground squirrel is entered through electrophysiologically defined states of sleep, characterized by almost continuous slow-wave sleep isomorphic with that observed at euthermic body temperatures.

The results extend previous observations that hibernation is not a homogeneous state and suggest that deep torpor consists primarily of a state similar to NREM sleep, interrupted periodically by short intervals of a form of AW.

73 Citations1989Derk‐Jan Dijk, Serge Daan
The results of the EEG spectral analysis are compatible with the hypothesis that delta power density reflects the ‘intensity’ of NREM sleep as enhanced by prior wakefulness and reduced by prior sleep, but enhanced sleep depth after sleep deprivation is not associated with reduced energy expenditure as might be anticipated by some energy conservation hypotheses on sleep function.

The disappearance of REM sleep during entry into torpor may represent a homeostatic adjustment effecting continuous regulation of Tbr, which is strongly affected by ambient temperature due to the combination of the large surface-to-volume ratio of its body and the suspension of thermoregulation during REM sleep.
