They wonder, but are usually too polite to ask, what does mathematics have to do with sleep? Instead they ask the questions that fascinate us all: Why do we have to sleep? How much sleep do we really need? Why do we dream? These questions usually spark a lively discussion leading to the exchange of anecdotes, last night‘s dreams, and other personal information. But they are questions about the func tion of sleep and, interesting as they are, I shall have little more to say about them here. The questions that have concerned me deal instead with the timing of sleep. For those of us on a regular schedule, questions of timing may seem vacuous. We go to bed at night and get up in the morning, going through a cycle of sleeping and waking every 24 hours. Yet to a large extent, the cycle is imposed by the world around us. | | 出版日期 | Book 1986 | | 关键词 | experiment; information; mathematics; phase; simulation; structure | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-46589-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-540-17176-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-46589-5Series ISSN 0341-633X Series E-ISSN 2196-9981 | | issn_series | 0341-633X | | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1986 |
