2. SLEEP
Every night, nearly every person undergoes a remarkable change: we leave waking
consciousness and for hours traverse a landscape of dreams and deep sleep.
All living beings exhibit regular, routine patterns of sleep and activity that are identical
to the patterns seen in humans.
scientists have reported the following characteristics that define sleep:
●It is a period of reduced activity
●Sleep is normally associated with a single, comfortable posture such as lying down
with eyes closed in humans
●It is defined by a decreased responsiveness to external stimuli
●Sleep is also defined as a state that is extremely easy to reverse (this distinguishes
sleep from other states of reduced consciousness such as coma and hibernation)
