Abstract

Prolonged wakefulness stimulates the homeostatic need to sleep, but transition to sleep also depends on the circadian time of day. However, links between circadian and homeostatic influences are not well understood. Guo et al. (2018) identify a Drosophila circuit connecting circadian clock neurons to sleep-promoting ring neurons in the ellipsoid body.
