AMAZING PAPER: Sleep restores defective mitochondrial function in sleep-deprived flies, suggesting all organisms that respire must also sleep. If so, there’s no escaping

Wonder if the DEC2 gene that controls sleep is linked to mitochondrial function

Sleep-deprived fly nerve gene expression changes are accompanied by mitochondrial fragmentation, enhanced mitophagy and an increase in the number of contacts between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum, creating conduits for the replenishment of peroxidized lipids
