Wild Sloths Sleep Less Than Captive Ones

I guess this helps explain why I fall asleep in meetings so often.

In the first experiment to record the electrophysiology of sleep in a wild animal, three-toed sloths carrying miniature electroencephalogram recorders slept 9.63 hours per day — 6 hours less than captive sloths did.
