3 years ago Interesting, I don't see anything that matches what you're looking for either.
Here's a quote from the paper you're curating:
PMID:31537465
Sleep is regulated by two interacting processes: a circadian, 24 h process that sets sleep relative to the phase of the day and night cycle and a homeostatic process that increases sleep drive as a function of prior wakefulness (Borbély, 1982). While the molecular and neuronal underpinnings of circadian rhythms are fairly well understood, the mechanisms that measure and actuate homeostatic sleep pressure are only starting to be elucidated in flies (Donlea, 2017, Liu et al., 2016) and in vertebrates (Funato et al., 2016).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm
A circadian rhythm is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and repeats on each rotation of the Earth roughly every 24 hours.[1] It can refer to any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria.[2]
Processes with 24-hour oscillations are more generally called diurnal rhythms; strictly speaking, they should not be called circadian rhythms unless their endogenous nature is confirmed.[3]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diurnal_cycle
A diurnal cycle is any pattern that recurs every 24 hours as a result of one full rotation of the Earth[1] around its own axis. Diurnal cycles of environmental conditions (light or temperature) can result in similar cycles in dependent biological processes, such as photosynthesis in plants,[2] or clinical depression in humans.[3] Plant responses to environmental cycles may even induce indirect cycles in rhizosphere microbial activities, including nitrogen fixation.[4]
It sounds to me like our regular daily sleep cycle is affected by two different regulatory process. I'm thinking about whether this idea might work.
- Change the name of
circadian sleep/wake cycletodiurnal sleep/wake cycle. - Change terms like
regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycletocircadian regulation of diurnal sleep/wake cycle - Add terms for
homeostatic regulation of diurnal sleep/wake cycle
It also occurs to me that it might be better to keep the current terms like regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle as general terms that encompass any type of regulation of the diurnal sleep/wake cycle, and then create two types of regulation terms underneath for circadian regulation and homeostatic regulation. Probably worth taking a look at current annotations to see if all the current annotations to regulation terms are for circadian regulation.

Please describe your question, idea, or concern. Curating a zebrafish paper PMID:31537465 where they are talking about sleep homeostasis distinct from circadian cycle. I can't find any terms in GO that map to that concept. Am I missing them?
They of course say it is an emerging field of study. They cite fly papers https://flybase.org/reports/FBrf0232501 and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29208223/ and mouse https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30297727/; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27806374/. Are there any plans to create terms for sleep homeostasis, or already a group working on those terms?
