#Mitochondrial genes are often used to test for #positiveSelection on #energetics, but do the stories supported by #dN/dS ratios hold up? Zwonitzer et al. reexamined seven case studies and found evidence for positive and relaxed #selection, but not always according to the previous hypotheses.

• Inadequate #sleep is associated with an increased risk of #metabolic disorders.
• Mitochondrial metabolism lies at the heart of a homeostatic sleep-regulatory mechanism.
• Sleep need is encoded in the excitability state of sleep-control neurons in the central fly brain.
• #Mitochondrial ROS promotes sleep by acting on a redox-sensitive potassium channel subunit.
• Mitochondrial ROS modulates the activity of sleep-control #neurons
