The Mind After Midnight: Where Do You Go When You Go to Sleep?

  



The Mind After Midnight: Where Do You Go When You Go to Sleep?

Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 18 Μαρ 2015

We
spend a third of our lives asleep. Every organism on Earth—from rats to
dolphins to fruit flies to microorganisms—relies on sleep for its
survival, yet science is still wrestling with a fundamental question:
Why does sleep exist? During Shakespeare and Cervantes' time, sleep was
likened to death, with body and mind falling into a deep stillness
before resurrecting each new day. In reality, sleep is a flurry of
action. Trillions of neurons light up. The endocrine system kicks into
overdrive. The bloodstream is flooded with a potent cocktail of
critically vital hormones. Such vibrant activity begs the question:
Where do we go when we go to sleep? Based on new sleep research, there
are tantalizing signposts. We delved into the one-eyed, half-brained
sleep of some animals; eavesdropped on dreams to understand their
cognitive significance; and investigated extreme and bizarre sleeping
behaviors like “sleep sex” and “sleep violence.”
