Sleep Origins: Restful Jellyfish Are Sleeping Jellyfish

Abstract: What is the 'simplest' animal that sleeps? When did sleep first evolve? Do all animals sleep? Tantalizing hints to answers come from new research showing that jellyfish, one of the earliest evolving groups of animals, have a sleep-like restful state.

“…Sleep is one of the most critical physiological processes for all species with a nervous system, ranging from jellyfish and flatworms (Lesku and Ly, 2017; Omond et al, 2017) to complex mammals. In humans, sleep is essential for optimal cognitive performance, physiological processes, emotional regulation, and quality of life, and research consistently demonstrates that biological factors leading to disrupted sleep have dramatic effects on health and well-being (Spiegel et al, 2005; Sabanayagam and Shankar, 2010; Watanabe et al, 2010).…”

“…The sleep-wake cycle has been characterized in chordate (mammals, birds and Squamata), Arthropoda (flies, bees, scorpions) cnidarian (jellyfish) and nematodes species (C. elegans [9][10][11]). Based in electroencephalographic traces, three states of vigilance have been identified in most of the studied animals, including mammals (Fig.…”

“…From a neurological perspective, it is a complex and tightly regulated process that shows remarkable evolutionary conservation ( Allada and Siegel, 2008 ). Despite the enormous evolutionary distances and physiological differences among organisms studied, commonalities in sleep behaviour have been found across taxa, from invertebrates – such as jellyfish ( Lesku and Ly, 2017 ; Nath et al, 2017 ), hydra ( Kanaya et al, 2020 ), flatworms ( Omond et al, 2017 ) and Drosophila ( Hendricks et al, 2000 ; Shaw et al, 2000 ) – to vertebrates, including fish ( Lesku et al, 2019 ), amphibians ( Libourel and Herrel, 2016 ), reptiles ( Shein-Idelson et al, 2016 ), birds and mammals ( Lesku et al, 2019 ). The near-ubiquitous occurrence of sleep behaviours, even in species without brains (e.g.…”
