Sleep deprivation studies have been criticized with the concern that observed changes may reflect the consequence of a particular artificial deprivation protocol rather than natural sleep/wake physiology [ 16].
Bartlett's test of homoscedasticity (uniform variance) [ 70, 71] was applied to the five groups of experimental animals (baseline and sleeping for 3, 6, 9, and 12 hours) not subjected to artificial deprivation.
By restricting our attention to genes that were observed to also have temporal expression changes among undisturbed, spontaneously sleeping animals, we safeguarded against the possibilities that the changes were solely the result of stress due to gentle handling or an artificial facet of the deprivation protocol.
Several authors argue that a rearing environment plenty of stimuli must be the natural situation in animal development, whereas deprivation of stimuli is often an artificial situation leading to behavioral abnormalities [39], [40].
