在 69 种哺乳动物的样本中，安静睡眠 (QS) 与一组不同于主动睡眠 (AS) 相关的体质变量相关。安静睡眠的时间与体型和基础代谢率呈负相关。即使在控制了体重的影响后，后一种关系仍然存在。主动睡眠的总时间以及主动睡眠占总睡眠时间的百分比均与体重或代谢率显着相关。晚成物种比早成物种花更多的时间在主动睡眠中。连续主动睡眠发作之间的时间（AS-QS 周期长度）与体重呈正相关。就其体型而言，生活在温带地区的物种比生活在热带或亚热带地区的物种具有更短的 AS-QS 周期。睡眠模式与成人大脑重量之间的相关性可能是由于体重的混杂影响造成的。这些发现被用来评估哺乳动物睡眠模式种间差异的几种解释。
Quiet sleep (QS) was correlated with a different set of constitutional variables from those associated with active sleep (AS), in a sample of 69 species of mammals. The time spent in quiet sleep was negatively correlated with body size and basal metabolic rate. The latter relationship remained even after controlling for the effects of body weight. Neither the total time spent in active sleep, nor active sleep as a percentage of total sleep time was significantly correlated with body weight or metabolic rate. Altricial species spend more time in active sleep than do precocial species. The time between the onset of successive episodes of active sleep, the AS-QS cycle length, was positively correlated with body weight. For their body sizes, species that live in temperate regions have shorter AS-QS cycles than those living in tropical or sub-tropical regions. Correlations between patterns of sleep and adult brain weight probably result from the confounding effects of body weight. These findings were used to evaluate several explanations for interspecific differences in patterns of sleep among mammals.
