Baseline sleep duration correlates with longevity in male flies. a-d Mean sleep/hour during the first week of life is plotted against lifespan for flies exposed to either control (a and c; blue) or CCM (b and d; red) conditions. Each dot represents an individual fly. While female flies (a and b) showed no relationship, both control (c) and CCM-exposed (d) males showed significant, positive correlations between early life sleep and longevity. For control females, n = 121; Spearman rho = − 0.048 (95% confidence interval: − 0.230 to 0.137); p = 0.601. For CCM female, n = 123; Spearman rho = − 0.081 (95% confidence interval: − 0.103 to 0.259); p = 0.374. For control males, n = 125; Spearman rho = 0.454 (95% confidence interval: 0.249 to 0.563); p = 1.02E-7. For CCM males, n = 114; Spearman rho = 0.419 (95% confidence interval: 0.298 to 0.587); p = 3.54E-5
