Differential Effects of Psychological and Physical Stress on the Sleep Pattern in Rats [PDF]
In the present study, we investigated the acute effects of 2 different kinds of stress, namely physical stress (foot shock) and psychological stress (non-foot shock) induced by the communication box method, on the sleep patterns of rats.
