Since primates spend about half of their life at sleeping sites, knowledge of behavior in the vicinity of sleeping sites and analysis of factors influencing their use is important for understanding the diversity of primates' adaptations to their environment. The present paper reviews recent progress in the ethology and ecology of sleep in diurnal monkeys and apes. Emphasis is given to the following topics: safety from predators at sleeping sites, physical comfort, social behavior, and psychophysiology of sleep. In all cases, study at the group level and at the individual level can provide insights into behavioral adaptations. As well as increasing understanding of behavior in the wild, knowledge of sleep-related behavior can be applied with a view to improving the environment for captive primates.
由于灵长类动物一生中约有一半时间在睡眠场所度过，了解睡眠场所附近的行为以及分析影响其使用的因素，对于理解灵长类动物适应环境的多样性至关重要。本文综述了昼行性猴类和猿类睡眠行为学和生态学的最新进展。重点关注以下主题：睡眠场所免受捕食者侵害的安全性、身体舒适度、社会行为以及睡眠的心理生理学。在所有情况下，群体层面和个体层面的研究都能为行为适应提供见解。除了增进对野外行为的理解外，与睡眠相关的行为知识还可用于改善圈养灵长类动物的环境。
