this is probsbly.the best researcher out there on equine sleep disorders: Christine Fuchs, (DVM, Ph.D., IAVC, IVCA), who specializes in orthopedics, chiropractic care, acupuncture, sleep laboratory and animal behavior and welfare at Lüsche Animal Clinic in Bakum, Germany she would be an excellent guest. Sleep deprivation needs to be talked about more. It causes performance issues from emotional to physical. ie Horses who crash on their necks resulting in muscle and at worst nerve impingement.
