Synopsis

The continuing controversies of the reasons why we sleep are discussed from a biological perspective. The author examines traditional views, such as if sleep itself stimulates body tissues to repair themselves and puts forward conclusions and hypotheses of his own, suggesting, for example, that the usual practice of dividing sleep into REM and non-REM may obscure other divisions of greater functional significance.
