Into the night: Evaluating sleep as a measure of animal welfare

Project: Research project

Project Details

Description

There is a need for simple non-invasive measures of animal welfare. In humans sleep quality is strongly related to a person's well-being, this suggests that sleep may also prove to be a good non-invasive measure of animal welfare. Considering that mammals and humans have very similar physiology and sleeping patterns, this study focuses on evaluating sleep as a welfare indicator and aims to understand how different species are affected by changes in their activities patterns and subsequently how this affects their quality of sleep
