Sleep Deprivation Study In Rats

Rats deprived of sleep will die.

With stimulus funds, New York has been experimenting with films displayed on tiny TV sets lowered down into the subways and sewers to develop a program that will keep rats awake.

Amazingly, a film of sleeping kittens has kept rats so glued to the tube that they first start cannibalizing each other, gain twice their original weight, stay up 24/7, and kill over dead in several days.
