Abstract
Glia are increasingly appreciated as serving an important function in the control of sleep and circadian rhythms. Glial cells in Drosophila and mammals regulate daily rhythms of locomotor activity and sleep as well as homeostatic rebound following sleep deprivation. In addition, they contribute to proposed functions of sleep, with different functions mapping to varied glial subtypes. Here, we discuss recent findings in Drosophila and rodent models establishing a role of glia in circadian or sleep regulation of synaptic plasticity, brain metabolism, removal of cellular debris and immune challenges. These findings underscore the relevance of glia for benefits attributed to sleep and have implications for understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying sleep and associated disorders.

Self-report
SLEEP® publishes articles that use a wide variety of scientific approaches and address a broad range of topics. These may include, but are not limited to:
Basic and neuroscience studies of sleep and circadian mechanisms
In vitro and animal models of sleep, circadian rhythms, and human disorders
Pre-clinical human investigations, including the measurement and manipulation of sleep and circadian rhythms
Studies in clinical or population samples. These may address factors influencing sleep and circadian rhythms (e.g., development and aging, and social and environmental influences) and relationships between sleep, circadian rhythms, health, and disease
Clinical trials, epidemiology studies, implementation, and dissemination research.
