title: Sleep: a neuropeptidergic wake-up call for flies.
abstract: Endogenous circadian rhythms exert strong effects on sleep, but the neuronal mechanisms that produce these effects have remained obscure. New work implicates neuropeptidergic signaling in a subset of circadian clock cells in the regulation of sleep late at night.
