State-dependent metabolic partitioning and energy conservation: A theoretical framework for understanding the function of sleep. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Metabolic rate reduction has been considered the mechanism by which sleep conserves energy, similar to torpor or hibernation. This mechanism of energy savings is in conflict with the known upregulation (compared to wake) of diverse functions during sleep
