In cats, the sleep cycle lasts about 30 minutes, though it is about 12 minutes in rats and up to 120 minutes in elephants (In this regard, the ontogeny of the sleep cycle appears proportionate with metabolic processes, which vary in proportion with organism size. However, shorter sleep cycles detected in some elephants complicate this theory).
7 week old infant in active sleep. Infant sleep in the first year can be categorised into active sleep (AS) and quiet sleep (QS). Active sleep is similar to the adult REM sleep in that it is characterised by eye and other kinds of movement; however, unlike adults in REM, infants tend to enter AS at the beginning of their sleep cycle, as opposed ...

In addition to these findings, Familial Natural Short Sleep (FNSS) is another heritable sleep trait that has been studied over the past few years. In 2009, Ying-Hui Fu and Ptáček discovered the first short-sleep gene by identifying a mutation in the DEC2 gene that resulted in an average of 6.25 hours of sleep a night instead of 8.06 hours, an ...
