TL;DR
It is concluded that systematic research bridging age-related differences in sleep and rhythmic phenomena in laboratory animals is lacking although several promising areas have been explored.
Abstract
This literature review of research on age-related differences in sleep and rhythmic phenomena in laboratory animals covers three general areas: (1) age-related differences in biorhythms in general; (2) age-related differences in sleep patterns as assessed by psychophysiological measures; and (3) neurobiological correlates of biorhythms and sleep, including consideration of possible morphological, chemical, and endocrine bases of age-related defects in animal models. It is concluded that systematic research bridging these areas is lacking although several promising areas have been explored.
