"The Sleep is an intermediate state between awakeness and death"
Dr. Robert MacNish. The Philosophy of Sleep. 1834
"More has been learnt about sleep in the last 60 years than in the precedent 6000 years. In this short period Investigators have discovered that sleep is a special dynamic conduct. Not just the absence of alert, sleep is a special activity of the brain, controlled by elaborated and precise mechanisms.".
Dr. Allan Hobson. Sleep. 1989.
