TL;DR
A movement-sensing device for discriminating between the sleeping and waking states in small mammals and data on the correlation between a criterion of motionlessness and EEG measured sleep cycle for the rat are presented.
Abstract
This report (1) describes a movement-sensing device for discriminating between the sleeping and waking states in small mammals and, (2) presents data on the correlation between a criterion of motionlessness and EEG measured sleep cycle for the rat.

Records from a large number of nights in single individuals indicated that some could maintain a very striking regularity in their sleep pattern from night to night, and that body movement, after rising to a peak, dropped sharply at the onset of rapid eye movements and rebounded abruptly as the eye movements ceased.
ScienceSleep Deprivation in the Rat
345 Citations1966Robert A. Levitt
Sleep deprivation, induced by injections of dextroamphetamine or by forced treadmill activity, resulted in a temporary increase in daily sleep time, however, increasing the period of sleep deprivation above 24 hours to 72 or 120 hours did not result in increased recovery sleep above that present in the 24-hour group.

Pressure of 40,000 atmospheres at 25�C induces a phase transformation in ytterbium metal; the face-centered cubic structure changes to body- centered cubic, and the atom's volume decreases and the volume, observed macroscopically, decreases.
ScienceManifestations of "Activated" Sleep in the Rat
52 Citations1962John E. Swisher
A sleep phase similar to feline "activated" sleep was found to occur regularly in normally sleeping rats, however, at these, times the electroencephalogram differed from the waking or " activated" pattern in being dominated by 6-to 8-per-second waves.
