图书简介
Why do animals, including human animals, sleep? References to this question appear as far back as the time of Aristotle, but a rigorous scientific approach to understanding sleep has been undertaken only within the last century. Miller, an award-winning author and contributing editor for Discover, employs the historical journey of four "sleep explorers" to show how the modern view of sleep has evolved. His account of sleep research includes wildly intrusive experimental designs such as sleep deprivation studies and cave living, all of which have provided critical evidence supporting a mechanistic understanding of this mysterious physiological phenomenon. Miller not only provides an engaging and accessible survey of the history of sleep science but also addresses what is currently known about the public health consequences of poor sleep quantity and quality. As an example, He describes how the work of sleep researcher Mary Carskadon at Brown University on adolescent sleep requirements resulted in changes in public policies related to school start times. The book will appeal to those interested in understanding the physiological causes and correlates of sleep and those who study the history of science. The text is fully indexed and replete with references and notes.
