Abstract
Though a state of deep sleep, it appears near to wakefulness in some of its characteristics ... Of course, such peculiarities of paradoxical sleep (PS) have puzzled many people and diverse hypotheses concerning its function have been proposed (Hennevin and Leconte, 1971). But, the only one which has been really tested is the hypothesis of an involvement of PS in memory processes.
