Life ...in the animal world
Introduced by Anthony Smith.
"...all Life death does end and each day dies with sleep." (Gerard Manley Hopkins)
Most animals sleep, some, including ourselves, spending as much as a third of their lives in this state. Although it is comparatively easy to recognise sleep, it is not at all clearly understood what it is for. Is it a waste of time and something that a substitute, a pill for instance, could replace?
Sleep is discussed by:
Dr. David Blest, University of London
Dr. Andrew McGhie, Royal Dundee Liff Hospital
Dr. Ian Oswald, University of Edinburgh
with contributions from:
Dr. Christopher Evans, National Physical Laboratory
Professor Michel Jouvet, University of Lyons
Dr. Dieter Backhaus, Frankfurt Zoo
Reg Lanworn, Zoological Society of London
