Abstract
As a further test of the hypothesis that REM sleep plays a specific role in energizing primary-drive-linked behaviors, the effects of REM sleep deprivation on the drinking behavior of rats was measured on three occasions subsequent to treatment, that is, after 1 h, 4 days, and 8 days of recovery. Contrary to the prediction, there were no significant differences between the REM-deprived and control groups on any of the posttreatment drinking tests. Thus, these data question the validity of the REM-sleep/primary-drive hypothesis.
