Sleep, on the other hand, which takes up more of most people’ s time than all of the above, .and which attracts plenty of study, is still fundamentally a mystery.
The one view shared by all is that sleep matters. For evidence, look no further than the experiments led by Allan Rechtaschaffen and Bernard Bergmann at the University of Chicago in the 1980s. They kept experimental rats awake around the clock in an environment where control rats were allowed as much sleep as’ they wanted. The sleep - deprived rats all died within a month.
