Today we looked at the second theory of sleep - the restoration theory - which suggests that sleep is for our body to restore itself after the day's activities. Oswald is the main proponent and he suggested that REM was for brain restoration and SWS is for bodily restoration. We looked at the evidence for this, and concluded that the REM/brain restoration link was better supported.
We looked at two sleep deprivation case studies, to see whether the lack of sleep could provide clues as to it's purpose. There is plenty of information on Peter Tripp and Randy Gardener out there; here is a sample about Randy Gardener.
Today's powerpoint is here.
Your next timed essay will be on the restoration theory of sleep. This will be on Wednesday 22nd October.
