"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Every animal with a brain needs sleep and even a few without a brain do, too. Humans sleep, birds sleep, whales sleep and even jellyfish sleep. Sleep is universal even though it's actually very risky, said Paul-Antoine Libourel, a researcher at the Neuroscience Research Center of Lyon in France. When animals nod off, they're most vulnerable to sneaky predators. But despite the risks, the need for sleep is so strong that no creature can skip it altogether, even when it's highly inconvenient."
The Independent sends reporters to cover developing stories across topics such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating financials and producing documentaries while avoiding paywalls. Donations fund reporters to gather facts from both sides and keep reporting accessible to Americans across the political spectrum, supported by readers who can afford it. Sleep is universal among animals with and without brains; humans, birds, whales and jellyfish sleep. Sleep carries risk from predators, yet its biological need is unavoidable. Animals have evolved extreme sleep strategies, and modern miniaturized trackers and EEG helmets enable researchers to observe wild animal sleep patterns directly.
