Light exerts a variety of effects on mammals. Unexpectedly, one of these effects is the cessation of nocturnal locomotion and the induction of behavioral sleep (photosomnolence). Here, we extend the initial observations in several ways, including the fundamental demonstration that core body temperature (Tc) drops substantially (about 1.5°C) in response to the light stimulation at CT15 or CT18 in a manner suggesting that the change is a direct response to light rather than simply a result of the locomotor suppression. The results show that1) the decline of locomotion and Tcbegin soon after nocturnal light stimulation;2) the variability in the magnitude and onset of light-induced locomotor suppression is very large, whereas the variability in Tcis very small;3) Tcrecovers from the light-induced decline in advance of the recovery of locomotion;4) under entrained and freerunning conditions, the daily late afternoon Tcincrease occurs in advance of the corresponding increase in wheel running; and5) toward the end of the subjective night, the nocturnally elevated Tcpersists longer than does locomotor activity. Finally, EEG measurements confirm light-induced sleep and, when Tcor locomotion was measured, show their temporal association with sleep onset. Both EEG- and immobility-based sleep detection methods confirm rapid induction of light-induced sleep. The similarities between light-induced loss of locomotion and drop in Tcsuggest a common cause for parallel responses. The photosomnolence response may be contingent upon both the absence of locomotion and a simultaneous low Tc.
