Part of the book series: Advances in Neurochemistry ((CORG,volume 2))

Abstract

The problem of defining sleep in biochemical terms is extraordinarily difficult, yet studies in this area are numerous and have a long history. Many of them focus on the general metabolism of the sleeping animal compared with the waking animal. They provide observations often really only peripheral to the central question: what biochemical manifestations are intrinsically causative of, or directly the result of, sleep?
