The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned
