Stable tubule only polypeptide (STOP) knockout (KO) mice show behavioral impairments resembling symptoms of schizophrenia. We previously reported that STOP KO mice slept less and had more fragmented sleep and waking than wild-type littermates under a light/dark (LD) cycle. Here, we assessed the circadian phenotype of male STOP KO mice by examining wheel-running activity rhythms and EEG/EMG-defined sleep/wake states under both LD and constant
