The Javan tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) is an extinct tiger subspecies that inhabited the

Indonesian island of Java until the mid-1970s.

Javan tigers were very small compared to other subspecies of the Asian mainland, but larger
in size than Bali tigers. They usually had long and thin stripes, which were slightly more
numerous than those of the Sumatran tiger.
The males javan tiger had body length of 248 cm and weighed between 100 and 141 kg.
Females were smaller than males and weighed between 75 and 115 kg.
Their nose was long and narrow, occipital plane remarkably narrow and carnassials relatively
long. Based on these cranial differences, the Javan tiger was proposed to be assigned to a
distinct species, Panthera sondaica.

Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind characterized by altered consciousness, relatively
inhibited sensory activity, inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles, and reduced interactions
with surroundings
Sleep increases an organism’s sensory threshold. In other words, a sleeping creature perceives
fewer stimuli. However, it can generally still respond to loud noises and other salient sensory
events
Lack of sleep is commonly called sleep deprivation. It tends to cause slower brain waves in
the frontal cortex, shortened attention span, higher anxiety, impaired memory, and a grouchy
mood. Conversely, a well-rested organism tends to have improved memory and mood
A well-known feature of sleep in humans is the dream, an experience typically recounted in
narrative form, which resembles waking life while in progress, but which usually can later be
distinguished as fantasy.
