Automated sleep scoring in hibernating and non-hibernating American black bears

Abstract Hibernating bears show remarkable metabolic suppression. Their decline in core body temperature (Tb) is moderate (from 38°C to 30-35°C), but their metabolism declines as much as 75%. To understand the role of sleep in this hypometabolic state, we recorded biotelemetrically EEG, EOG and EMG data over 3500 days from 16 captive American black bears in and out of hibernation under semi-natural conditions.
